Well, the kids keep me on my toes. Second son is accepting the job in Northern California that starts in early May. He's given notice at his apartment and his job. He's so excited he can hardly stand himself. God is allowing things to fall into place before him in a truly amazing way. I think that makes the Lord smile. I know this son does. He SO wants to stay in His face. And the girl he's been writing lives within an hour from where he'll be (mentioned before). She's working at a Christian ranch (organic stuff and all), and he'll be cooking, which is his first love, and some outside work too at a Christian retreat. Turns out, she's the one who recommended him for this job. I'm thinking this might work out romantically as well. :) His job is possibly seasonal. May through August with the possibility of permanent. He might not come back. That'd be odd.
He'll drive, and was hoping oldest daughter would go with him, but she's not keen on the part where she'll fly home alone (two layovers were the easiest I could find). She's not in an adventurous mindset now. We'll have to pray for how this works out. I'm not going to fix it, but this has been so smooth so far, no reason for that not to continue. He'll shoot straight west on I-40, hit Sacramento, then zoom north. Or something like that. Don't quote me on that.
God has this.
God has this.
Just wanted to say that some of our children really want God's will. Not to slam the others, but it's so refreshing when I see their faithful spirits. So huge a blessing to me.

As to Easter, Mom went to church with us. She said she enjoyed it, but it exhausted her, so she didn't want to get out again for dinner here. Just getting in and out of the truck was a surprise as to how hard it was. She looked sort of shocked.
Anyway, three sons didn't come, but those who were here were second son (above), and the ones who live here. We had such a good time. No stress and just a restful day. I actually felt so much better without the drama the others bring, love them though I do.
Feeling stronger, especially after my epiphany of sorts on Maundy Thursday while praying. Leaving those burdens at His feet.....amazing.
