It has Not Been an Easy Week

From my Mother-in-law's garden....

So much has happened,

here at Hospitality Lane

and in the homes of several of our friends.

We have two young friends in the hospital right now and one is in surgery as I write.

Your prayers for Josh would be appreciated as he has a surgery on his lung.  He and our boys are very close. 

Jonathan had a root canal yesterday after suffering terrible pain for the past several weeks.

He dislikes the dentist so much that I only heard about it last Friday when he had not slept for five days.  Poor guy.

When he finally got pain meds he kept falling asleep, wherever he was. Sometimes on the sofa...once on the living room floor where he had been playing with the dogs.

He was just that tired.

 

Chelsea's appointment with her new doctor was interesting including the fact that she passed out in the middle of it.  That was scary!

I think we like the new doctor, who specializes in eating disorders,  but will have to see more of her to decide for sure.  Chelsea has been working so hard to get well.  I am very proud of her.  She has another goal that is inspiring her.  I cannot reveal it yet but maybe soon.  Yesterday was devastating as that was dream was challenged and remains unsure.  I'll just say that this is a time of learning how to cope with uncertainty, the possibility of crushed dreams and frustration.   

In the meantime she has an interview this morning with a bakery.

This gives her a "Plan B" in case "Plan A" fall through.

Sometimes none of the things that we think we have figured out are the plans the Lord has in store for us.  We are working together to remember that this is what we want.

HIS WILL.

 

I will not post often next week as we enjoy some time together as a family.

My question for you is would you rather I just leave you with pretty pictures or should I bring back some former posts?  

I am not good at Blog Breaks so we will see how long I can stay away...

I plan to post through Sunday and then hit or miss for a week or so.
