A miracle?

Two days in a row! Woohoo!

It's been a rough set of months, as we've mourned the absence of Indie and Sassy. Here, I am willing to admit that I've grown distant from God-- depressed, really, and weathering my days without much enthusiasm. Added to this has been the search for a new church, which really broke my heart. It took us well over a year to get settled in a new one, and that only occurred a couple of months ago. Even still, I feel like we are all battle-scarred by the process, just now looking for ways to invest ourselves in our new one. I"m very optimistic about the prospect, and I respect the pastor. If only I could be more like Mia Tiffany, who is already volunteering with the kids, where she excels. I miss doing high school ministry-- I know that we are called to it, and we are praying about how best to pick it back up.

In other news that I forgot to mention yesterday, JP finished his last college class! He will be walking in May, but is still all finished. I'm so proud of him! It's also really nice to have my honey back. Speaking of which, he has also started a business, which God very specifically called him to. It's slow starting, but all in God's timing.

Today, I find myself pondering our path again, which I do fairly often. I'm starting to see a foster care finish line down the road, and I wonder if 2011 will be our last year. I'm beginning to feel a pull toward a path that is familiar, but yet untraveled for our family. Lots of thinking and praying on that subject yet to come.
