Jess & me

Saw the lawyer today, he wishes to have me call him, after the next Dr. Visit.

Jess and I have been hit on all sides, talk about disastor, with all that is going but God is good, Jess is alive,....

Our life has taken turn like one would not believe but the most important is we are in this as two people facing it as a unit. The life we knew is changing, but it is together we are doing it. He is so thankful I am with him. He knows it, and knows I will be there for the changes taking place.

I am not going to have to go back on the road after all. I am so happy. Rick found out his old partner is looking for a new partner. It is really hard to find people you are compatable o drive with. He and Rick made a great team and he was thrilled about them getting back. I love to drive and have thought about getting some kind of local driving job, but long haul driving is so hard on the health. I hate seeing Rick go back and he needs and wants to get of the road in the worst way but can't at this time. Our little Jimmy is not doing well and don't think he is going to last much longer, so being on the road is not a good thing for him either.
I just got all my flowers plantd and it looks looks like a park around here. This will be the first time in 8 years that I will be able to not have to leave and pay someone else to take care of things.

When we moved here we walked around the property and anointed it and now you can feel such a peace and beauty. Our neighbors did the same thing when they walked the entrance of this road and you can feel the same thing as soon as you turn onto this road.
Ever since we moved here we have been looking for a place to worship but until this last sunday, nothing felt like home. We final visited Crossroads about 3 miles away and knew we were home. No hype, no emotions roller coaster. We accually remembered what the sermon was about and the friendliness of the people was outstanding. We even met one of the pasters that moved here from Clackamas about 3 years ago. The kids did a special, there must have been close to 75 kids maybe more. That is always a sign of a healthy church when they have a lot of kids. And the ages of those attending had a great mix. Anyway I am so anxious to attend the women ministries and get to know the people in this church. Right now they have a big poll barn they meet in but the have a big expantion plan that is going to be awesome.

Ok enough already. I am just really happy with life right now and looking forward to finally developing some spiritual friendship for the first time since we moved here.

We got a great letter from Richardo yesterday. I know you have been writing to him too Peter. Rick sent off a nice long letter this morning. We ae so anxious for him to get his freedom and be more a pat of the family. I know it s not going to be an easy road for him. I am so gratful for a God that gives second chances. We all need to be more like Him.

Sloppy hugs and kisses to Gonzo and anyone else that wants one. Bonnie

It's amazing. Some of our families’ lives are in a state of change and transition and others are reaching a peaceful and tranquil state.
I'm glad that you can be there for Jess, Lili. It's good to have someone near that he can count on.

Bonnie, your happiness bubbled through your comment. It almost came across in a state of ecstasy you were so happy. Good for you.

Jim

Bonnie,
that is good news, now you can make your house a home. its good to hear that you guys found a church home also. that is so important for our spiritual life to fellowship with people of like minds, but also not to draw away from those that are not saved.
what is the name of the pastor from Clackamas? I wonder if i might know him.
sorry to hear about mikey.
Love ya sis

When I read these blogs, it occurs to me that life is like a hurricane - but most of our time is not spent in the eye of the hurricane, where we'd truly like to be. Life is seldom like the eye; especially when we get older, we are often in the chaos of the storm. Most of us do our best to form our lives so we experience tranquility, but so many things are out of our control, and chaos is always threatening us. I just found out, that this morning, a friend of mine had a heart attack. Talk about chaos! Because of our various health issues and circumstances, or just bad luck, it may be that many of us will always be facing hurricanes. But God has promised in Isaiah 26:3 "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusts in thee". BUT LORD, BRING THE EYE!
