Feeling Blue


It's funny.  


I often see families in the Blog World and think, "Oh, how awesome it would be if we could live down the street from them!"


Big families.


Families with a mix of bio & adopted kids.


Multi-racial families.


Some blogs make me think,


"Our family would seem NORMAL if we lived next door to them!"


God gave me an amazing blessing 2 years ago.


Honestly, I couldn't have ordered a more perfect friend.


"Okay, God, I'd like a larger than average, homeschooling, adoptive/bio blend family, with kids similar in age to my kids, and if the mom could sew like me, that would be a bonus."


2 years ago, He brought the M family to town.  


And they've been everything I could have wanted as friends.


And now our time is up.


The army is taking them away.


Way, way, away.


And they're taking a chunk of my heart with them.


My girls and I are going to miss them terribly.


And yet I know 


Somewhere on the other side of the country, another family is going to be hugely blessed by the M family.

Just like we have.

  2. oh my word. this brought me to tears. I am SO SORRY. I know this prayer all to well, a prayer for close family friends who share similarities. I am sorry for your loss and send prayers for the new chapter God has for you and your kiddos.
