Life Colorings
Ok, I too seem to lack the ability to post someone else's blog within my post, so I'll do it the only way I know how.
http://lifecolorings.blogspot.com/2009/08/nonsense.html
This is the link for my mom's blog...Life Colorings. She is always mentioning my blog in her posts and it's about time I return the favor. Maybe reading her blog will patch some of the holes mine leaves behind. This particular blog post was about an e-mail conversation we shared this past weekend. We e-mail several times a day and now that I don't just live around the corner, we seem to make it a priority to talk on the phone at least once a day. The conversations can last any where from 15 minutes to over an hour. (I'd have to be honest here and say that most times, it's over an hour) We just never seem to run out of things to say and at least on my end, I just am not ready to hang up and "lose" that connection from home. I gets rather lonely here at times. I spend much of my day inside the house by myself and find I greatly look forward to the guys coming in at night, just so I remember what actual human contact is. Life here has not been without it's adjustments, but what doesn't break you only makes you stronger, right? I do so enjoy life here on the ranch and learning new and different things. This was the right move for Jamie and I and we are both content for today...I don't know what tomorrow will bring, but God does and so I'll trust that He will give me what I need to get through tomorrow.
For today, I'm thankful for my mom who has always shown me, not just told me that she loves me. I miss her very much, but I'm so greatful that the Lord has given her heart a peace about her only daughter moving so far away and for the constant encouragement she has been for me. I don't know if I'd be fairing so well out here without her in my life. Everyone should have a mother like Mudder Smucker! Mom, thanks for being my shoudler, my advocate, my encouragement, and a smile for my day...you are truly the world's best and I Love You very much!!

Jess,
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying you sharing your heart with us. I can so relate to all your emotions that you share. I to have followed God's leading and moved away from Lancaster County PA and all the family and friends that I have there. My husband Keith is your Dad's cousin. We moved to Mountain View Arkansas 4 years ago today. God has lead us here even though it was not easy he has walked beside us every step of the way. I even wonder why somedays. But know I am here until he moves us on. We have gone through some struggles over the last four years and people ask from back home if we think we made the right decision to move here and my responce is always the same yes we followed Gods lead and we will be here until he moves us back or where ever he will lead us.
But that does not mean I do not miss home or family. It just means I will make the best of where he has me right now.
I will continue to pray for you and your husband as I read your blogs and remember those feelings that you share with us.
Blessings,
Vicki Huyard
Well aren't you a sweetie. I knew there was a reason why you're always my favorite daughter. =) Love you. Oh, and I love him, too. He'll always be my one and only sonny-law.
