new home and new neighborhood

we've been busy this week, cleaning up the apartment so we can move in next week.
can you imaging we live right next to a real river, a muddy river but with all the natural habitat.
a ten minutes walk right around the bend is the pony ride, and a great park where my boys used to bike around when they were little.
best of all the beach is just another few minutes walk away!!!

beautiful feet

talk about good bye, i often wonder what's the good part?
jc said something like this:
we learn about God's heart,
and taste a little of His pain of our seperation from Him.
that was certainly a view from above!
so no goodbye but "see you later".

"Hi, Mom."
my seventeen year old walked into the house, dropped his backpack on the floor and sat in front of the piano began playing.
for one who learn to play by ear, he never cease to amaze me!

later that evening as i walked pass his room he called out, "Mom, listen to this," with pocket pc on one hand, he handed me the other half of the ear phone.
"One of my favorites." he said. " Soundtrack from Anime Kenshin."
(not the one that he had been playing
all afternoon)

for a brief moment, mother and son sat by the edge of the bed,
lost in the beauty of "Her most beautiful smile".

it rained today, the long awaited rain!
it has been so hazy the last few weeks -
as we looked out the window
, everything was kind of blurry.

that was kind of like our situation since our return:
we still have no idea which schools the younger boys will be attending, and my seventeen year old received news that his studies has to give way to military service by next July.....and all the whys, wheres and hows.
but the sun is still shining in the skies - God is in control, He is faithful and Good.

Jeremiah 32:27 "I am the LORD. The God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?"
