.... life's ups and downs.....

...what a week... so many exciting things, received many boxes of resources and "stuff" for the center... the house next door to the church will be owned by the church end of October and with that... so many exciting possibilities... if it is God's will, for Hope for Life...
sad / exciting moments this week as well.....
my oldest daughter... so grown up and accomplished and a great source of joy and pride... took possession of her own Condo and moved out FOR GOOD :*(
emotions are mixed because I am so happy for her, I also strongly believe that it is the right time for that, and yet... when is there ever a right time for your baby to move out of your "daily" life so to speak..
I remember 5 years ago... when she took the first steps into living her own life.. moving her into residency in Toronto... what I had dreaded so much turned into something not at all like I had imagined... she ended up coming home pretty much every weekend and Mami was a happy camper.. commuting for a few years with a year in an apartment in between.. this is the final step out of the nest... she is in full flight and it is a great thing... if it wasn't that sad as well...
home schooling for my youngest is proving more challenging than we first thought... a melt down, later a cry for help to a wonderful friend which is hopefully going to deal with that....

weekends and nights are the most difficult for a lonely single woman like myself... even the amazing open air service at the Georgetown Fall Fair made it once again painfully clear that I am just that: a single woman...
Well, I still believe that His plans are to prosper me and not to harm me, to give me a hope and a future.. which is beyond what I could come up for myself... when is the question...  but I shall trust... what else can one do???
