Everything's Comin Up Roses!

Dear Diary,
Well, well, well! It appears God has a sense of humor. Just when I had pulled up my anchor, given up hope, and prepared to sail along to a brighter shore, BOOM! The opportunity of a lifetime gets dropped into my lap. EVERY concern I've ever had about a career was addressed with a solitary interview. I have been offered a position with comprehensive medical benefits, sick time, respectable salary, and a schedule that can't be beat! All the things I had convinced myself I would never find and could never be worthy of.
So, looks like I'm tossing the anchor back in and just changing the scenery a little! I'm excited about the prospect of a new life of my own! I know my Mamma had something to do with this! God is good! Just when I was about to give up on Him, HE gave me more of a blessing than I can contain!
Grace! That's that and that's all!

Abracadabra!

To say the past 36 hours have been a whirlwind would be the understatement of the year!  Our licensing worker visited us on Friday for our final walk through, sent our paperwork off yesterday in the morning to the powers that be and POOF two hours later she got word that we're licensed!  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that there is probably a great enough need related to our licensing specifications for age and quantity that it probably won't take long for us to fill up! We were already planning to attend a social last night for Foster Parents and really didn't want to back out of that, as 1.) we could use the support and 2.) I had spent the whole day toiling away on some AMAZING cupcakes that I wasn't about to let go to waist. (see what I did there?) We zipped off to Effingham for the gathering, sat around with many other new foster parents and were VERY grateful for the opportunity to network with others, all the while thinking about everything w...

Today's another very important day for us!  We're expecting a visit from our licensing worker for our final walk through!  It seems there's a pressing need for homes willing to accept kiddos between the ages of 12 and 14 so it wouldn't surprise me if we're opening our doors before Spring even arrives! We're settling in nicely, all of our rooms are set up and "livable", just have to attack the last of the cardboard kingdom! It's so nice to have storage space and not have boxes stored away in every nook and cranny of every room in the house!  The garage and basement are invaluable! While I have a LOT to say about what's going on in the world, I can't possibly formulate thoughts that would take less than 10,000 words to "pen", so I'm just going to keep them to myself and try to pray my frustration away! I know there aren't many of you keeping up with this.. it's amazing how people forget about you all together when yo...

Letting Go...

Dear Diary, It seems it's finally time to leave Louisville and all the pain it's caused for me behind. I know that people probably think I'm just running from my problems, but I'm really trying to start my life over, on my terms, on my feet, and working on NEVER depending on another to take care of me again. People just can't be trusted. I'm sick and that will never change, but I'm just going to have to make a way for myself and pray that this stupid disease doesn't get the best of me. So, at this point next week, unless something miraculous happens, I'll be saying goodbye to Louisville and all it's trappings. I need to center, I need to focus on my relationship, or lack thereof, with my Savior, and I need purpose.
