Isn't it funny how God puts things right in front of your face, just when you need them the most? God speaks to us in many ways. Sometimes it's a song. Sometimes it's a sign, figurative or literal. Sometimes it's a dream, or a vision. Sometimes it's something someone says to you. Sometimes it's a whisper or a thought in your heart or head.

Morgan and I were at Hobby Lobby last night, getting a few supplies for her jewelry making, when I spotted a small plaque with this saying...."I don't know what tomorrow holds, but, I know WHO holds tomorrow." When I read it, of course, being the blubbering idiot that I've been here lately, I started bawling!!! Grrrrr....I hate that!!! Why am I so danged emotional...still? But, it was at the same time very comforting. I love this quote. It was exactly what I needed at that exact moment. Probably going to be my mantra for the next several months. I just have to keep reminding myself that God will handle this, and that I need to just let Him do it without my help.

It's so good to have Morgan back at home. This house is SO lonesome without her in it. We have had three and a half very good days together. Today, we were especially busy. After bringing all of her belongings home from college, her room was completely full, and quite dangerous to walk in! Late this afternoon we started working on it. We sorted everything she had in her room into three boxes: Goodwill, Trash, and Keep. As she sorted, I bagged the trash and the Goodwill stuff. She was doing such a good job, that I could barely keep up with her!! She got rid of a lot of items that she no longer uses, so, now, all three of the outside trash cans are full, and my truck has at least six or eight bags of stuff for Goodwill, which I will drop off early in the morning, before I go to do my FIVE massages!!! We still have some work to do on her room, but, we made a HUGE dent in it. It already looks way better, and we can walk all around the room without danger of tripping over some of her dorm room stuff. We plan on getting it finished soon, (while we're in the mood) then, working on the spare bedroom! We plan to get it all done by Christmas!! Then, if we have spare time, we'll tackle the garage. Then, maybe we'll want to go out there and use the hot tub!! I'm just ready to get everything clean and tidy, get rid of the clutter, once and for all, then, just sit back and enjoy our nice, clean house!!

Tomorrow, five massages. Tuesday, going to the city to spend the night with my aunt, then, Wednesday, we go to see Morgan's heart doctor for her six month check-up. Hoping and praying all goes well. Wednesday, back home to finish up our cleaning projects and prepare for Christmas. Christmas day we're going to a town nearby to serve lunch to the homeless!! I'm so excited!! I've been wanting to do this for several years. I think it'll be great for Morgan, as well. I think it's something all kids should do. I think it might help us both to appreciate how blessed we are, with what we have.

God is good. No tears today...just smiles and hard work! :)
