Good tidings of great joy! The missing peace is found. I will have super weeks again. I am no longer lost and unsure of what I'm supposed to be doing. I couldn't, in good conscience, keep this unexpected blessing to myself any longer!
We had wonderful news this week when Brianna had the interview we've waited so long for,, and was granted lawful permanet residency in the United States. Other blessings: My friend, Karen, helped me find and decorate a cheerful little Christmas tree for our home, and shop for gifts, which she then wrapped for me, for I am a notoriously bad wrapper. A few Christmas cards have begun trickling in, and we're preparing to mail out a few of our own. Colin received his letter of acceptance from Boise State University and will begin his studies in Jan. Brianna will most likely begin working toward a nursing degree in May. Shane is doing wellin school, wrestling, and life, and he achieved the Eagle rank this fall. Dan and Colin and I attended Shane's choir concert and were touched by the festive and the sacred music alike. The Hallelujah Chorus was positively stirring! Colin sang a hauntingly beautiful duet with our friend, Evan Darrington, tonight at the churchChristmas party, O Come, O Come, Immanuel, and as always, hearing one of my sons sing, put a glow in my heart. We're anticipating a visit from Ethan, Missy, and family for Christmas, and all our sons and their families are well. In short, the peace I thought I might never find is here in abundance.
Merry Christmas, my friends.Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
