God is using you. God will continue to use you. Keep trusting him.<br /><br />I KNOW how it feels when work pulls you away from your family. I KNOW the guilt. When we brought our 3 home from Ghana, I had to return to work the very next day. I was working 35 hours per week, adjusting to 3 new children, and homeschooling 8 of my 13 children. It was TOUGH!<br /><br />I hope that the Lord will show you specific boundaries/priorities/schedules before you get home, that you can put into place just as soon as you are home and back with your family. First suggestion ... take at least a week off, just to love them ... and be loved by them.<br /><br />Thanks for your heartfelt honesty! We love you!<br /><br />LaurelLaurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253303288242135440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23254997.post-8942301684699533162010-04-15T10:34:45.565-06:002010-04-15T10:34:45.565-06:00I pray that you feel God's comfort and strengt...I pray that you feel God's comfort and strength through the rest of your trip and that you are able to create the boundaries that you need for you and your families lives when you get home. You are not a failure-that is satan inching his way in your thoughts. God has used you and will continue to use you no matter if you are working or not!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636090312363043206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23254997.post-68903267829137920422010-04-14T23:26:59.469-06:002010-04-14T23:26:59.469-06:00Sheesh Anita- you took some of those heavy words R...Sheesh Anita- you took some of those heavy words RIGHT out of my mouth. <br />There just isn't enough of ME and enough TIME in my day sometimes. But you know what- hitting rock bottom and realizing who to lean upon (HIM) and then having your Mom and hubby say "everythings gonna be alright" means so much.<br />Keep trying to live in the moment. To let is all soak in. There is no better place to be for you than where you are at any given moment and to truly LIVE and BREATHE in that minute.<br />And all the rest will work itself out, the job, the adoptions, the families, your family, your children, health etc. just as it should be no matter what you do or don't do- there's already a plan there. So enjoy your moments. This moment.<br />love you<br />SarahMomto16https://www.blogger.com/profile/02209044048232703879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23254997.post-90264627579321601342010-04-14T19:23:35.940-06:002010-04-14T19:23:35.940-06:00*BIG HUG* you are a wonderful person.
