Back to Abnormal

As I was preparing to come to the church this morning, a weird feeling came over me as I was leaving the house.  Josh returned to OBU yesterday, Kristen left for an early class this morning, Edie was already at work, mom is back in her apartment and I felt alone.  Not like God's presence had left me alone, but empty house alone.  I said out loud, "everything is back to normal."  Then I realized that Josh being gone, Kristen finishing college is not the normal.  It is the abnormal (for me).  Life is changing!.  I speak of it often.  I'm learning a new "normal."  I love the changes and I dislike the changes.  I miss little kids and I love having older kids.  I miss little league and am so glad we're past it.  I love Josh being home and know its good for him to be gone.  I'm not even thinking about what the next year will bring for my little girl.  I have no normal.  God spoke to me in this moment that He will never change!

Good word. God has blessed you and Edie in wonderful ways. And we are blessed to know you and have you serving Christ here.

Pastor T., I fully understand the empty house feeling. David is now in training to drive trucks over the road and has been gone since the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Cody is in Camp Shelby Miss and leaves for Iraq Feb. 10th. So my house is empty as well but I know God is in control and is always here so I don't worry.
Thank you for the words in your blog and for your service. We miss you guys !

Hello Bro. Tony,
We sure do miss you guy's. We are still looking fo a church so far now luck. I thought that I was going to crack up last night. Went to a church and we walked out and Mark said well that's the best we have come up with so far. He said I am getting on a plane and go back to Ar for church. He said this bad Moma.Bless his heart he is telling the truth.
Please pray that we will find a church home and it will be God's will. Church is not what these people are interested in.
Thanks for all your prayers. Tell Mrs. Eddie we said hello and we love you her. May God bless you all
