Yesterday I went over to Rebekah's to have her watch Will for a couple hours. While I was there, I got a couple of boxes of my old stuff. Little did I know that I would find some jems in it.
It was six years yesterday since my Mom passed away. It was on a rainy day like yesterday and brought back the day very vividly to me. I wasn't feeling overwhelmed, just an underlying sadness. When I got home, I decided to go through the box to throw out things that weren't important. While going through, I found many letters from my mom and Grandma. It was such a sweet time. I spent a couple hours going through reading these treasures. I thought I would post part of one of my favorite notes from my mom.
"I respect so much who you are and am confident that God can and desires to keep you and draw you ever closer to him. I can release you to him because I can trust His protection and direction for your life and when I see that you willingly and quickly submit your will to Him. If you go in the strength of God's Spirit, He will make your life so full"

What a special gem to find Heidi - I'm sure those words meant so much.
Your mom's encouraging heart still moves today!

I have been thinking of all three of you. It was really touching to read each of your blogs...so many special memories...so precious. I am thankful God gave you this little box of treasures. My heart & prayers go out to all of you.
