So look on the bright side, you have friends in your new town!<br>But this weekend I didn't learn anything of value.<br>I'm just praying a lot, trying to find my footing on a slippery slope, praying that God shows me where He wants me to be. And helps me raise the kids the best that I can without their daddy around. Which is much, much harder than I had ever anticipated. Maybe I'm expecting an angel to appear on my doorstep with a bucket and a mop, or hammer and nails, or maybe a good shoulder to cry on.<br>And I feel just a tiny bit let down when I open that door to feel the cold wind on my face instead. Maybe I'm not opening the right door? I need to have more faith. Much, much more.mindihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00256678532457319118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448059462407447922.post-68142770441703808152008-02-11T14:25:00.000-05:002008-02-11T14:25:00.000-05:00I totally understand what you were saying about mi...I totally understand what you were saying about missing St. Joe. Me too! And as you were visiting with Karen, I was envying you visiting with Karen. Alas! Well, out of the holly bush for both of us!

I like your approach much better (although that wasn't your point). <br><br>So, what I have learned lately?? Well, I was struggling last week as I visited with Karen. I was wishing myself back in St. Joe, wishing I could be surrounded by great friends again and live in our fabulous house in that neat little town. BUT I don't live there anymore and the Lord rarely calls one back to where they've been. So, as I sat in the park with Karen, I realized that I need to embrace my new life here and enjoy the friendships that the Lord brings my way (oh, and that I need to step out of the Holly tree and make some friends) :)Deannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00806557096802322028noreply@blogger.com
