Well to be honest, with this hurried life we are now experiencing I find it hard to keep up with all our family and friends. This blog is an attempt for me to communicate with each of our loved ones all that God is doing in our lives. WOW has he been working! The past 11 months alone have been absolutely AMAZING (as my darling middle daughter would say) We have gone through numerous testing with our son our David and many answered prayers (more on this in a later post) Our oldest daughter Lauren moving out of state and on her own. And our every busy Rachel starting high school. I will take the next few post to try and bring you up to date and then do my best to keep you informed from now on. This is not just an information blog but I hope a prayer letter, we would appreciate your prayers for our family and would love to hear how God is working in the lives of each of you too.
with much love
and as my momma says
omk4u

Blogging is totally addictive and is such a great outlet. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have. Tell David hello from me and to keep me posted on 5th grade... I know he's going to love it! : )
ReplyDeleteWow. My mom. Writing a blog. I remember just last year I was still helping you send emails.... I really hope you keep this up. I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of what's going on with you guys and I don't want that to be the case. I want to know whats going on with you guys, what happens every week, movies you saw, cool shows you watched, something funny that happened at school or at work. Just because I'm out of the house now doesn't mean we can't keep in touch. I know it's probably my fault for starting things off the way I did, leaving and not saying anything, and then taking so long to try and make any real sort of contact. I thought that's what I needed to do. I felt myself moving backwards (real college to community college, out of the house to back under my parents roof, etc.) I know this was largely due to the choices I made myself, but you know me... I always generally have to learn things the hard way before I get them. I felt like I was such a disappointment to you guys, as I was such a disappointment to myself, and really began to question whether or not I could even make it without all the support and material comfort you had given me. So I took a drastic measure and decided to venture out on my own. I didn't have anything planned. My plan (after you left my apartment on Sept. 1st) was to hook up with some friends I had known for a few years via some tech/nerd/gaming circles I was a part of, have a couple of them move up to Knoxville, and share the apartment with me. I was looking as call center jobs as a way to get into a more business-suited envirnment, and hopefully and up landing a secretary's/receptionist job after a few years. I didn't tell you about the bus ticket I had gotten cause I knew you wouldn't approve, and I didn't want to have an argument over it. The original idea was to head down to SC to meet up with some of these people in person, figure out what was the best plan of action, and head back 3 days later, to be followed by my new roommates. While I was there, the idea came up that we stay there (free rent and such, I'd just have to get a new job). I was stupid of me, but I wanted to do something different so I went with it. After that, things just kinda "happened".
ReplyDeleteI'm really sorry I didn't keep in touch with you guys over this long process, but again, I was afraid of arguments and wanted to be able to sort things out on my own. I really hope you'll take this as my attempt to reconnect with you guys. I feel like I've missed out on so much time already.
No idea what "omk4u" means. It'd be pretty sad if my own mother schooled me on textspeak.
