Balmy breezy 80 degrees

Good Morning Sweet Friends,

It has been a balmy breezy 80 degrees on the porch this morning,

and so lovely I could just sit out there all day, but unfortunately

there are things to do, but I am very refreshed for the time

I did get to spend.

Well, we heard from our son yesterday about 6p.m, and he

made it fine, a few hrs later than expected, and with a few

unexpected bumps. The first one made him think he was

gonna have to call his dad and come back to get him.

He got a crate for Joey, with the dimensions they gave

him, which we thought was ridiculously small anyway,

and when he got there they said that it wouldn't do.

So they called all the A/Lines to see if anyone had one,

and nobody did, and finally they called United, and

they had 1 left, it was $70.00, but they got her in it

and he was running to the gate.

Also when he got his

backpack out of the luggage rack(he had put it in a

huge garbage bag, so that nothing would come lose

and get lost) they had gone thru it and it was a topsy

tervy mess, and he had to put it all back together

again, and he didn't think anything was missing,

we pray that is the case.

So they started their adventure today. Upon awaking

I was having some fearful thoughts and I got an email

from a sweet friend here and a comment from one of my sweet

blog friends. They were definitely heaven sent messages,

and really encouraged me, and now after my time on

the porch with the Lord, I am feeling full of faith

again. The enemy tends to always come to me

early in the morning just before I am awake to

plant negative seeds and thoughts. He is so

clever in his deception, but the Lord is always

infinitely wiser and better!!

I will be going out soon to mail our first of many

packages to my son (they are his food supply &

other supplies he needs)

This is the label from one of them. He has each one

labeled with the date to be shipped and how it is to

be shipped, and he left a list as well.

His organizational skills just amaze me,

especially for a guy.

And this is all the packages we will have to mail
if he tarries on his journey. Twenty to be exact!!
He has them all stacked according to date,
left open so we can add anything extra he might need,
and they are already addressed, so all we have to do is
add anything extra, and tape them shut,
and as you can see he even has a tape package
tape dispenser there, and he left $250.00 for the postage.
He has pretty much thought of everything it seems.



Guess you can't tell that I am proud of him or anything.
He really is a great young man, and has so many
wonderful qualities. He was not the least bit discouraged
over yesterdays happenings, he was just excited and
ready to start his journey. Good for him!!
Wish I was as excited about my journey thru
this time as much as he is!! ha



I do know the end result will be good, with the Lord
the best is always yet to come, but sometimes it is
a struggle to get there, and I can tell you I think
this is gonna be a daily struggle at least for awhile.
I can be fine one minute, and bombarded with
scary thoughts the next. Course, I know all those
what if's and vain imaginations are not from the
Lord, so I have to stand firm and call on my Lord
for help. So like I said the results will be good,
cause anything that makes us more dependent
on Jesus, is always Good in God's eyes.


Well Now, thanks for all your kind comments
on yesterdays post and for your prayers especially.

Have a truly Blessed and Cozy Day,
Nellie
