Learning to make my home in God's love and find joy in Him through every season, including the loss of our youngest son. Our Good Shepherd has been faithful to lead, guide and strengthen me as I daily choose to turn to Him in surrendered trust. I share my struggles and the things I am learning here in hope that they will encourage you in your journey towards life and fullness of joy in His presence. "You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore. " (Psalms 16:11 AMP) Psalm 43:4 I will go to the altar of God, to God—the source of all my joy. I will praise you with my harp, O God, my God! "I've loved you the way my Father has loved me. Make yourselves at home in my love. If you keep my commands, you'll remain intimately at home in my love. That's what I've done—kept my Father's commands and made myself at home in His love. I've told you these things for a purpose: that my joy might be your joy, and your joy wholly mature.." (Jesus in John 15:9-11 MSG)

We got through a few questions. All the kids liked living in Texas best for these reasons in this order: Mexican food, BBQ, and family. 🙂 The 10 year plan was answered with silence. They live one day at a time. The holiday question got a similar response.. except they like food. Judi was the most adventurous.. she'd like to go to NY, Hawaii, the Painted Desert, Grand Canyon. The boys were pretty stuck on the Grand Canyon, but thought Hawaii might be cool, too.
I forgot… they like living in Alabama because there is so much to do here.. hiking, dollar theaters, and 3 malls. Joel and Josh stood in line at Toys R Us for two hours for their Black Friday sale.. only to buy a game that wasn't on sale.. for the thrill of the chase.
