The first few days

For any one who has experienced pending seperation you know the worst part is the anticipation leading up to the departure. The first few days have been emotional and good. I had hoped to keep things as normal as possible and stay busy but the Lord had other plans--an ice storm. We have been on lock down since Sunday night! So much for staying busy.

The Lord has been so faithful to provide all that I need. On Sunday morning Adam and I wanted to spend time together praying before he left. The hour between 6-7am is always subject to change at our house. I just never know when the kids will wake up. So we started to pray and not 10 mins or so later Reece and Mariemma were awake. Reece calls down to us and says he will play with ME for a little while. I did not know what that ment but I just kept praying. When I walked up stairs Reece and Mariemma were playing in her crib together. I know the Lord provided that time because that has never happend before and I dont think it will ever happen again!

I do pray that I will not miss what the Lord has for me during this season. I want to see His faithfulness and how He provides for his children. I am asking the Lord for patience beyond my ability. I struggle to remain patient with Reece. I want him to remember his mother for the godly traits I taught him--not for the ways I lost it with him when we were both tired and missing dad.

Here are a few pics from our friends house during the ice. The kids thought it was snow but really it was just lots of ice.
