Another day

Another day. Not sure why today is a mixed emotion day. It just is.

It's been a busy week. Trying to get my head on straight for this coming week.

Looking forward to a skating party, dinner with our church family and hopefully a few other families and a family movie night too. Should be a lot of fun. Needing to get into the right mindset for that. I'm hoping that some of our Upward families will come out!

I think part of the melancholy is that a friend of the family passed away this morning. Hard to know what to do with that. I think death just makes me sad. Not much more to say about that. I think I'm just overly sensitive to death now. It's something I take seriously now, if I didn't before. I can understand and empathize with the families now, because I feel their heartache.

We stopped by our Kalyna's grave this afternoon as well. 8 months old tomorrow...such a beautiful little girl she is I'm sure! :) He grave is super pretty though. Pink grave stone with her beautiful name and a rose and cross beside. Etched in the stone under her name has her birthdate and then it says "Forever loved, forever safe in the arms of Jesus". It's so true and I will forever believe that and look forward to the day when I see her again. Until then, I know she is with the greatest parent ever. :) And probably to her in Heaven it's only a blip until we are there; eventhough it may seem like an eternity for me on earth!

This past week we continued our homestudy on Monday. It was very positive and went really well I think. We meet again on Wednesday this week with our home assessor.
This past week we also had our last two Pride training sessions which finished them up for us.
What a great course to have. It builds so much empathy for the kids in care and for the families that end up there. I'll have to write more about that in another post. It really is a great course.

Anyways, that's all for now.
I hope you all have a good week.
Thanks for reading.
I'll leave you with a verse, that I read this morning and liked:

You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
~Isaiah 55:12~
