reconsidering...

So after much thought, prayer and thinking I have decided to not go private. I will continue to post (hopefully a bit more frequently) and we will not hide.

For those of you who do not know, it was a crazy summer for us. Tom left our family several months ago leaving me as a single mother of 5. He decided that he no longer wanted the "burden and responsibility of a family, wife, kids, and house". He has chosen a different life. The kids and I are doing good. We are in the midst of some changes at the moment, but life will settle down soon. We continue to be amazed by all of our blessings. We are so grateful to those of you who have reached out in love, support and care over the last few months. We know how blessed we are to have such wonderful friends and family.

So, we wont go private. We are family. We have each other. We wont hide.

Oh I'm so sorry to hear. What a difficult time for you. You certainly are getting the opportunity to live up to the title of your blog! May He richly bless you all during this time of transition. You are loved with an everlasting love that nothing can ever separate you from. That will shine through this time.

There was a time in my life where I felt that my husband was my rock, and I *needed* him. God showed me that He was my rock, my ultimate provider, and I needed nothing but Him. I am praying for you and your beautiful children... but, I know you have all you need in HIM!!
