wow - so there are 4 kids! I also desire more friendship - having moved a lot in recent years ~ is your husband a minister? Pastor?

he is a worship pastor at our church...which automatically gives me the stigma as pastors wife! lol! if they only took the time to get to know me :)

thanks for adding me as a friend...and for your reply! your jewelry is beautiful! i love how so many of us create jewelry, but it is all so very different.

zoinks - here I am sitting ~ wanting to be a real person with you - and hoping you will be too ~ thanks for your honesty and transparency - I hope your daughter is doing well. Seems right now leaning is where I am as well ~ although I must admit I am rather frightened lately ... your blog about your daughter helps me realize I'm not just out there alone - trying to find my way through this! You are right - he has a plan - even when I don't get it! Sometimes I just want to get it more than I want to need.

~ "life" has been tearing at me lately as I try to center myself on the eternal ~ my significant other is manic depressive - today was a very hard day ... always welcome prayers! His manic phased passed after 3 days - and down into the pit today ~

Is Grand Rapids in Michigan? I'm in Eugene Or ~ but planning to move to Oklahoma City again by fall - I sure miss it!

Thanks Lisa

~ Heather

heather,
thanks for your comments! SO appreciated!

my daughter is doing great...we're just laying low for a couple days, which i actually love. i'm kind of a "homebody".

i understand depression, i suffer with that myself. not the manic depressive kind...but i know how hard my moods can be on my family and especially my husband. hang in there! i know the phrase "God never gives us more than we can handle" is true, but it certainly is hard to stay grounded in that when everything seems to be crashing all around us. I just keep thinking to myself...hold fast!

why are you moving? will you be near to family or friends? we are actually looking at moving as well. trying to decide if we leave our family behind and go out of state, or should we stick around as the parents are aging...significantly!

chat back when you have a chance!

in His grip,
lisa

Very nice post. As an adult, even with no kids, I find it hard to have TIME for friendships. They don't work out the same as high school or college. So, you're not alone in your thoughts. Nice blog too! I too have recently started a blog.

Hey Lisa ~ he went to the doctor the other day and they upped his new meds ... this may be working ~ at least there's hope!

Glad she's all ready to go ~ I am working hard on ebay last few days - penny sale ends today (31st) ~ hoping for a treasury on etsy in 10 minutes - we'll see ...

what are you up to?

smiles, Heather
