Went to support group tonight (S16 at his high school's football game; S13 stayed home and played with friends)
Tonight's topic was "Why Did God Allow This to Happen?", good lively discussions especially around what is God's plan for you?
I baked "White Chunk Blondies" which were a big hit after the meeting. Now time to go pick up S16 from rainy game.

Last night S13 and I purchased a Wii (its part of his Christmas present) and I love it. grin
We played for hours last night and tonight. Even S16 joined us for some fun.
Today, after work, I lifted weights then stopped at my brother’s house for dinner and to hold my niece before I came home to the kids. W was had dinner with the kids and folded clothes for us.
Tomorrow, after work going bowling with some co-workers. Friday, going to play cards at a friends house.
Saturday is Halloween.
Then on Sunday, W, S16 and I are going to a reception for some colleges who are visiting the area.

Had a blast bowling with co-workers at this new bowling alley near work. Came home and ate dinner then played Wii with S13. S16 and his girlfriend started to clean up the basement as they want to host a Halloween party on Saturday night. They have done a good job so far. It should be fun having a house full of kids, pizza, pop and candy! grin

Happy Halloween!!

Last night had fun playing cards and spending time with old friends smile

But was a little down on drive home as they are all still married and seem happy. I guess was just missing W somewhat. I know I'm ok and am healing more each day.

Today should be fun! My niece will stop by to trick or treat grin

The kids and I are getting the house ready for their party tonight and I'm baking cookies smile

Let Go, Let God

My spirit soars as I let go and trust God.
As I step out in faith to do something new and daring, I may feel like a skydiver moments before a jump. When I make the conscious choice to let go of my comfortable surroundings, I may experience a moment of fear. But like the skydiver, my fear is quickly replaced with exhilaration and excitement as I soar through the experience with complete trust. I let go of my fear. God is with me and all is well! Letting go of fear is liberating. As I let go and trust God, I open the way for God's perfect expression within me and in all the circumstances of my life. I don't worry about the outcome, for I know that all is well. I know that God is in charge and that I am being divinely guided and blessed.
Trust in the Lord forever.--Isaiah 26:4
