God Does Answer Prayer!

Wow. My first post in the new year! (Am I slow, or what?!)

After almost 6 years of praying that God would bring my dear husband home, HE DID! We had the awesome blessing of having Bo home for about 4 weeks, beginning Jan. 24th. Lots of adjustments, patience, interesting conversations, family meals, a game or two (Let it be said that I am absolutely no good at CLUE!), and about a million hours at the local DMV!

For those of you who don't know, Bo did accept 3 weeks of work back in Canada, and flew north on Feb. 17th. I'm not sure about his plans following that project, so we are waiting to see what God brings next. Things seem to have quickly gotten back to how they were before Bo was here. I'm not sure if that is good or not. We had a hard trip home from the airport after dropping him off, but all in all the kids are doing ok. Although his being here seems to have made us miss him so much more this time around. The empty place in my heart feels new again.

I am so thankful for what God is doing in our family. He is giving the kids and I another opportunity to practice our "patience as we wait". I told the kids we need to remember 3 things:

1. God sees us.
2. God loves us.
3. God will take care of us.

Thank you LORD, that You are Faithful!
