It's inevitable you know....coming home from vacation. It always drags around getting here and then poof....gone. It was touch and go there for a while but we hung in there and it paid off. The weather was perfect. We had only 2 days of wind and no rain to speak of. We had a great time relaxing...well, most of us. CDP ended up having to write a paper so he was a little preoccupied but the girls and I along with my parents and our great friends from GA, the Halls, had a blast. There's just something about the beach...it gets in your blood and you just have to return. I can still hear the crash of the surf against the shore. It makes me think of being totally rested and at peace. It also reminds me of a song..."and who tells the ocean, it can only come this far".
Christ, our saviour, holds all things in his hands. Nothing is unnoticed by Him. This makes me think of our friends in Colorado who are about to travel to China for the second time to be united with their little girl. I must be honest, I am jealous. For those who have experienced the miracle of adoption, there are no words to describe the feeling you get when you see your child for the first time. As believers, we know that our Heavenly Father plans and orchestrates our lives for the purpose of His glory and His plans are ALWAYS perfect and pure. As many times as I have experienced His perfect plans, I still sometimes need to be reminded of His great love for me.
Tomorrow begins our Mother's Day Out program at church and both my girls will be attending. I'm really glad to be back into the swing of things. It may not seem like much to some but 10 hours each week to do whatever I need to do without little hands and feet interrupting is well....priceless! This will be the last year SJ will be at home as she will start 4 yr old Kindergarten next Fall. I am going to cry, I know it. Anyway, SC is really beginning to try and walk. She stands alone and cruises very well, especially with her walk behind toy. It won't be long. I'll post pics as soon as I get a chance.
