This blog is basically, for my venting about TAKS and my journey to homeschooling.
But, this time is just for me to hear myself think thru typing. We have some friends that are adopting from Ethiopia, had things settled and were gearing up for their kids. Then, the rug was pulled out from them. Things stared going down hill and their kids(at home) had their hearts broken. I knew God's perfect timing for them in getting their new additions, was just going to be that.....God's timing.
Background....I moved to this area my senior year(long time ago). The first person that God put into my life is now one of the best friends in my life, Kelly Miles. We do not get to see each other as we like, but we can always know that we have each other. Her and her precious family, told us that God was directing them to the Middle East to serve Him. They, did not hesitate to go and take their kids and they have been there since Jan. of this year. She is a homeschooler and has been nothing but encouragement to me ( I got homeschool in somehow). I got an email from her today and my rug was pulled out from me. They are coming home because she is very ill. She has non Hodgkin's lymphoma and is in stage 3. As, I cried and started frantically, searching the internet for an information. I was reminded of our friends who had their rug pulling last week. I had to remind myself that God has already taken this. Her faith is not shaking in this diagnosis, so my faith should be the same. So, please keep Eddie, Kelly, Emily and Nathan Schieffer in your prayers. They are trying to make their way home back to Texas and start dealing this.

God's timing......not for me to question , but to be still. (Thanks for that post on Friday Emily

I am so sorry to hear about Kelly! I will be praying for her! I have had a hard time this week too Nannette...trying to understand God and his will is never an easy task...and one that I do not think he asks of us. What he asks of us is to understand that His will is best. I admit that I struggle sometimes in this. I want to control it myself. I am glad He has it in His hands...I will pray that we all feel His power and love in our friends lives. Love you girl.
Thank you for this sweet friend. I am just catching up from our week away!! I appreciate the support and prayers more than you know!
