Now the countdown begins......

Well, somewhere right around the first of June my mother will be heading back to N.M. w/ my sister in tow. It has been three months, and it is now time. We certainly have had our ups & downs, but one thing is for certain, I realized how much I love and cherish my family time w/ the girls Chris & I , also that God was doing something in all of it, even if I'm not totally certain of what it was yet.
It is really interesting to add two very strong personalities to an existing family dynamic (especially where there are 5 females already co~existing~ alot of stretching happening in me). I feel really confident that there isn't anything more for them to learn or do here. I have seen them grow & I know that they will be going back w/ a new perspective, & healed of alot of things. Naturally there will some readjusting for the girls, they really have had some fun times w/ them: The late night games, swimming in our pool while it is 68 degrees outside. Late nights in the hot tub. Hide and go seek w/ Jordan countless hours at night. So as you read this, if you would, please pray for the 2 of them & the road that lay ahead of them, also for the loss that the girls will be feeling as they leave. Till next time ♥

wow!! I was seriously hoping that they would never venture back to NM. I prayed that they would make friends and find a better life in oklahoma.. NM is a bad place for them.. so now, my prayers will change.. I will pray that they take what they have learned and use it to make their lives better instead of falling back into the evil , dangerous life they had before.. DO YOU THINK THAT WILL Happen?? Dear Lord, I hope not.. God Bless you and your family for helping them and hopefully , teaching them that they dont have to live that way anymore.. I am sooo scared for them both now.. I'll be calling you.. HUGS!!! Diane
