Christmas Cheer!!!

My family on our Christmas!

So far this speedy trip home has been very refreshing! I feel like this is a Christmas that was filled with laughter and just much quality time.It's the first one yet where I don't feel this heavy loneliness hit out of nowhere, or this feeling like I am still missing half of myself. That is purely the healing of God. I well remember in my Divorce Care class all the truth that was shared about the time it would take to feel like a whole person again and that feeling of something missing wouldn't fade quickly. Well, I am beyond grateful  This process hasn't at all been easy, the healing has been restorative and I just really am still gratefully reflecting that this Christmas felt much lighter. Healing the blind, the lame totally amazing miracles- healing the pain in broken hearts and lives- just reminds me- I feel like He is a master painter, every color in place, no detail over looked so the healing- however long it takes is majestically whole. Wholeness, is something I've come to appreciate- and it just felt amazing to be able to be with my family, the ones who journeyed with me through this and be myself again- yes I am different for the better- just a very refreshing time! 

The Dearth family Christmas


Spent some great time with my dad today, and we were discussing life and my hopeful job at Grace! Here is a video I'd thought you might like to see-   Look for the "Why Grace" video- I will be interviewing when I get back for a position- and yes I am very hopeful I will get to serve in this way next year! I will be raising support and I feel a much larger peace about this now- from having talked with some of you- really just realizing that The Healer I've trusted my life with will indeed Provide for where He wants me to be!!! Thanks for reading !

thoughts


Just a quick post- wondered if you'd be thinking of the littlest E. She just got out of the hospital around Nov 19/20 from staying a week- and is sick again with a stomach thing and fever. These are pictures from Oct. when we were carving pumpkins! Thanks for your thoughts for her!!!
