Whirlwind

For the last week and a half, my life feels like it has been a whirlwind. But at times, it feels as if time is standing still.

It is so hard to belief that Christine is gone from our presence. We are blessed to know that she is laughing and flying and worshipping her Saviour, but for me, it is bittersweet. I so wish she were still here with us, but I know God has a purpose and plan for this. I do not understand, but I am willing to trust the heart of God to know HE would never maliciously hurt and wound us. It's hard, but I trust HIM.

It's weird getting back to life. Life will be forever altered. But today starts another day that we just continue to live our lives and be forever blessed by having had a year with Christine.

The boys started school back up today ~ yes, those moans and groans you heard were from my boys. They only had a few classes to do today, being as they got let out of school early on August 25th. I didn't want the babysitter to have to hear them gripe and complain! I like people to think of my kids as angels :D, so I have to bribe as much as possible!

Jesse went back to work on Thursday and he works today. He has off Tuesday and Wednesday, then back to work at Rome Labs until Saturday. That is his last day there. On Monday, Sept 13th, he is starting his new job at the Syracuse VA hospital as a police officer there. Sometime in October, he leaves at some point for an 8 week police academy in Little Rock, Arkansas. Not necessarily lookin' forward to that ~ Yes, Jesse, I said that! {inside joke, especially since I don't think he reads my blog!} But, I believe I can survive him being gone stateside for 8 weeks if I can survive multiple deployments, sometimes to undisclosed locations!

I am busy trying to get motivated to get my basement cleaned. I had started at the beginning of summer, then got busy doing other things. I REALLY need to finish it before cold weather, cause I do NOT want to be known in the rodent community that I just opened a hotel for them. *shudder* And since Jesse will be gone soon, I gotta use him while I have him!

So, that is our life right now. I really like posting songs to each blog. So, I shall again! Here are the words to the song I referenced earlier. It is an awesome song!

All things work for our good
though sometimes we can't see how they could
struggles that break our hearts in two
sometimes blinds us to the truth

Our Father knows what's best for us
His ways are not our own
So when your pathway grows dim, and you just can't see Him
Remember you're never alone

God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His heart

He sees the master plan
And He holds our future in His hands
So don't live as those who have no hope
All our hope is found in Him

We see the present clearly
But He sees the first and the last
And like a tapestry He's weaving you and me to someday be just like Him

God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His heart

He alone is faithful and true
He alone knows what is best for you
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand trust His heart
