Over and Out... for now.

I had a friend message me on Facebook with a few concerns about my last post.
(I've removed it, so if you didn't read it- you missed your chance.)

And while I don't agree with everything she said, there was enough truth to her words that I've removed my previous post.

I did not deliberately intend to be verbally uncaring toward my host kids, but I did post in and frustration and exhaustion and complete stress.  Tension headaches have become my daily companion. I was venting-- and for that I apologize.

Many of you thought the post was actually funny- and sent several emails saying so.
But my friend was correct in reminding me that if D&D's orphanage director/social worker/care giver somehow got a hold of that post, some of the comments- though made tongue in cheek-- would not have translated well.
Also, if someone who DIDN'T know me read it, they might not understand it either.

So, to err on the side of caution, I have removed the post.

I am not to the point yet where I can be joyful in this situation.
I know I should be, but I an not; and I am continually asking the Lord to change my focus and give me a new perspective.

At this moment, it is obvious I can not be AT ALL objective when it comes to this hosting, so for now, I am signing off.

Only after this house has de-stressed and put back to rights, and I get several full nights of sleep and I've given some extensive, tension free quality time to my husband and my children, will I be back. Maybe.

Thank you for reading, and praying along with me... especially to those who have been here since the beginning.

  1. Again, thanks for your honesty. Your willingness to accept your friend's thoughts and step back shows your character and compassion. All of these things are such a beautiful testimony. (Almost done!)
