* Adjusting my sails *

Life just sails along most of the time.

All of a sudden, "WHOOSH".. a gust comes along, and blows you completely off course.

 

My oldest brother passed away.  Unexpectedly, very suddenly.

My heart is hurting. 

I've never lost a sibling before.  I've lost my Dad, and my Father in law..... but never a sibling.

It's a different kind of hurt.

 

I'm trying to re-adjust my sails and keep sailing along.

I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for blessing me, and for the comfort and re-assurance that the atonement of Jesus Christ brings to me.

I know I will see my brother again. What a happy re-union that will be.

I am eternally grateful that Families are Forever!!

 

Also.....

our house is under contract and we are due to move by the end of the month, if not before.

IF everything works out.

SO much is out of our control .  The buyers need to do so many things on their end, in order for the sale to be finalized.

I'd really like to be done with showing our home, and dealing with "LOOKIE LOUS".

I'd really like to move into the home that we've chosen, start decorating, and making new memories with our family.

 

Like the old saying... ' it's not over, til it's over'.

Never the less.. the sale of our house, and the buying of another house is on my mind.

Yep.. it's a lot.

Grateful that the funeral is over, and I feel like I can start to heal. 

 Praying that all goes smoothly, and we don't hit any road blocks with the buyers.

Prayers on our behalf would be much appreciated.

 

There you have it.

The reasons for my blogging absence and the reasons why I may be absent a bit longer.

For now, I'm striving to live like this ~~

 

                                                              She stood in the storm

                                        and when the wind did not

                                                 blow her way,

                                          she adjusted her sails.

 

 

I'm adjusting my sails..........
