Back On

God really just knows when we need a break. He also knows when we need a challenge. He just knows.

I don't think I have fully realized just how in need of a break I was. It has been hard for (A) to not see his mom, but at the same time it has been easier. He was given a little break from his own emotional roller coaster and it has been incredible to see the difference and how much more at peace he is with himself.

It has been nice...the quiet time...the time to appreciate how happy and content I am with our family. God uses those boys (and my husband!) to bring me so much joy. We aren't perfect by any means, but we are a family.

But we don't only need breaks...we also need challenges.

And so I reluctantly step back on the roller coaster, buckle up, close my eyes a little, and hold on tight....here we go again!

We will love through the hurt and emotional ups and downs.

We will pray for peace despite the uncertainty.

We will trust that God's will is perfect...even if it isn't our own.

(A) will see his mom again and we will go to court soon to see what the end...or beginning...of this journey will be!
