Thank you for the inspiration, Topaz, it means something.

Oh, friend. I just love that we have another thing in common. <3

Oh, goodness! I didn't know about your husband's knee. That sounds painful, especially with a knee.

I am guilty of staying awake for the same reason. Sometimes I find myself just going to bed when the rest of the world is getting up. The things we do for some alone time. lol

That was so beautiful the way you described my journey. It brought tears to my eyes. It is all God, my friend. All God. This journey. It just amazes me that I see God is still writing the story, that we have a little beauty in the midst of this storm. The things He has done and how He has been there blow me away. It is a hard story. Brutally hard. In other ways, though, it is a beautiful story of faith, grace, and love. I am in awe sometimes as I sit back and watch Him write the story in so many unexpected ways. The pen is in His hand, that is for sure.

I just love you to pieces and am so glad God brought us together and included you and your beautiful friendship in our story. <3

WHITE SPACE PLEEEEEEEZE!!!

So I’ve been staying up waaaay too late because that is the only time I can have to myself without serving anyone. It’s my happy quiet place of solitude, prayer, processing, and nothingness. My white space saves me every time.

And my beautiful sister, I can not imagine how agonizing. exhausting, and heartbreaking it is to be traveling down such a harrowing path that requires such sacrifice, and even worse, the brutal heartache watching your love descend. You are made of a special weave, my friend. There is something so utterly beautiful and strong about you that they seem like superpowers magnetized. I’ve witnessed it ever since I first came here to read your profound words and feel the passion behind them.

Oh, goodness. This thing was such a lifesaver this week with the grandbaby being over a couple of days, a late night livingroom change, and family night on Sunday with my son, his wife, and Oliver. It worked double time this week. Having had so many health issues, it saves so much strength for other things. Not to mention the time it takes. I am amazed at how much it gets up. We don’t even wear our shoes inside. Of course, I am pretty sure a lot of it is my long hair. lol

And I second them working on one that will do the dishes AND the laundry.

Off to check this magical thing out…

You’re welcome, Sandy. 🙂

Yes, Donna, that’s exactly what it feels like. Such a simple reminder, but it is calming. Love the title of your blog.
