Worrying about the kids leaving home..found this scripture and it's quite calming.
This is what the LORD says: "Restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for your work will be rewarded," declares the LORD. "They will return from the land of the enemy

Walking Her Home
Artist: Mark Schultz
Album: Broken & Beautiful
Looking back
He sees it all
It was her first date the night he came to call
Her dad said son
Have her home on time
And promise me you’ll never leave her side
The way she laughed, the dress she wore
He’d never felt like this before
Chorus:He was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled it stole the breath right out of him
Down that old road With the stars up above
He remembers where he was the night he fell in love
He was walking her home
Ten more years and a waiting room
At half past one
And the doctor said come in and meet your son
His knees went weak
When he saw his wife
She was smiling as she said he’s got your eyes
And as she slept he held her tight
His mind went back to that first night
Chorus:
Bridge:He walked her through the best days of her life
Sixty years together and he never left her side
A nursing home
At eighty-fiveAnd the doctor said it could be her last night
And the nurse said Oh Should we tell him now
Or should he wait until the morning to find out
But when they checked her room that night
He was laying by her side
Oh he was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled when he said this is not the end
And just for a while they were eighteen
And she was still more beautiful to him than anything
He was walking her home
He was walking her home
Looking back

Conquering Lonliness....
Why is it that I feel different??why is the house full and noisy…but yet I feel lonely? and withdrawn.
I am by myself, not really physically alone, but with Walker.I am listening to worship music, it really calms my soul.He speaks to me and comforts me in His music.
Is the enemy thriving?? Is he trying to convince me that I’m worthless??
I keep walking..and hearing His voice..I feel peace
Back home the house is busy and noisy still, but I have conquered another episode of lonliness!

Psalm 139
1 O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.
5 You hem me in—behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit? here can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,"
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.
19 If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
20 They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name.
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD, and abhor those who rise up against you?
22 I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.
5 You hem me in—behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

Praise You In This Storm!!
Written by Mark Hall / Music by Mark Hall and Bernie Herms
If there ever were a test of our faith - if there ever were a test of the motives of our worship - it is when a storm rolls into our lives. Sometimes God calms our storms. Sometimes He chooses to ride them with us.
Romans 8:28 / 2 Corinthians. 4:16-18 Psalm 42:5 / Psalm 121:1-2 Job 1:20-21 / Daniel 3:16-18
I was sure by now
God, You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining
As the thunder rolls I barely hear
You whisper through the rain "I'm with You"
And as Your mercy falls I raise my hands
and praise the God who gives And takes away
CHORUS
I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on If I can't find You
As the thunder rolls I barely hear
You whisper through the rain "I'm with You"
And as Your mercy falls I raise my hands and
praise the God who gives And takes away
CHORUS
I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth (repeat)
CHORUS
Though my heart is torn I will praise You in this storm

Greatest Love
I always knew I'd be a mom
since I was just a girl.
And when God blessed me with you two,
you each became my world.
He said now take these precious gifts
and show them greatest love.
Because he gave them here to me from
Heaven up above.
He said to teach them what is right by what you do and say.
And please remember as a mom to teach them how to pray.
The years go by so fast you know no matter what we do.
And wherever that your paths may lead my heart will go with you.
I only hope I served you well and showed you greatest love.
I hope I taught you how to pray and thank your God above.
Always remember, to be your mom is a blessing everyday.
For to me God sent a precious gift of Kristine and Cory

Family and Prayer
Prayer is communication between man and God. A family that incorporates prayer into their lifestyle are giving the ultimate gift to themselves. Life is difficult and suffering is an inevitable part of life. A family that prays knows that they can turn to God and be accepted and loved for who they are. Every human being needs to turn to God with his or her triumphs and failures and know that life is meaningful. A family that prays together has the ultimate support system.
