Long Day

Well, we made the dreaded announcement Sunday morning. It was a really sad morning. I woke up at 2:30 am, and never got back to sleep. I did make it through the announcement with crying. There were a lot of tears afterwards. The afternoon was spent at a funeral and talking with one of my church members with whom I've become close friends. The great part of the day was after church that evening. Emily and I had the opportunity to sit and talk with a couple that has been attending the church. They will be joining the church next week.

Today I went by to visit a couple of the senior adults I regularly visit. Suprisingly, they had not heard that we were leaving. They were gracious and encouraging. They were exactly what I needed today.

OK, enough of the serious talk. I need to do something productive (like watch House)

I know that these are very tough days of change for you and Emily. But, I do commend you for doing what you feel that the Lord is leading you to do. No, the path is not always perfectly straight... but there's no sweeter place than RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF GOD'S WILL. He will bless you and those around you for your obedience.
God Bless.... Samie

Our S.S. class has a special prayer time just for you and Emily at 10:57AM eastern time Sunday morning. I must confess I didn't hear much that Greg said that morning because my thoughts were with you. I kept looking at my watch and thinking "he should be making the announcement right about now" or "well, I guess it's over with now". I shed tears here too. Love, Momma(Shelia)
