Today's Grab Bag of Thoughts

In July of 2012 - my sister and husband entrusted me with the lives of their 3 children.  Though it did not work out that way in the end, it is still incredible to me that someone believed in me that much.  This last year has taught me that without God in our lives we would be lost.  That my sister knew that it wasn't just trust she had for me, it was faith in me and in what God was telling her.  Who am I to second guess that?   Though being a single mom can be trying at times, lonely or hard...it is the most rewarding and only worth while thing I have done with my life.
