I took the kiddos up to the mountains of NC for my family's annual apple butter weekend back in October and we had a fun time!

Jen graciously came trick or treating with us and I would have been lost without her! |

Rowen with buds I & A

We're keeping our heads (barely) above water with Rob away. I saw him this past week in Australia, which was good for my heart, but now I feel even more sad returning home without him. For 5 more months. Ugh. Most days I feel like I can barely scrape by and yesterday I was reminded of this verse.
"Have I not commanded you?
Be strong and courageous.
Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged
for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
Joshua 1:9
That kinda makes my treading water and barely scraping by seem like disobedience. So, message received. But the delivery is a bit more challenging...I'm workin' on it.
What a good verse...one of my go to life verses...Praying for strength for you...and some rest and down time :)
ReplyDeleteOh sweet friend, Im praying for you. For strength and comfort while Rob is away <3
