Emotions...

This New Year has brought a flood of emotions...in 5 short days, I have felt sooo many lows and highs...such sadness over the loss of our little friend, Alja; laughing so hard I cried with my oldest (not in age, but in amount of time) friend, Tricia; a renewed sense of loss over what we had to leave in Russia (unpacking our memories and luggage from Russia was much more difficult than I had expected); frustration in waiting and not knowing our future; exhaustion from traveling; laziness from doing nothing over the break; not to mention all the emotions brought on by our unexpected move and the daily gamet of emotions that go along with parenting...and thankfully a strange sense of peace through it all!!!

I am so thankful that the Lord is control of my life, has a perfect plan and works everything out for the good of those who love him and are called according to his purpose.

Please continue that the Lord would lead us and guide us according to his will. Pray that I would not be over come with my emotions, but find joy and peace as we wait on the Lord.
