Coping...


The Friday that Figgie died, I already had off work.  They canceled it on Wednesday due to the weather.
The girls had off work and I knew we could not do school.  No one's mind or spirit could handle it.  
Later in the day, at about 2pm, we went down to the drive-through and brought back lunch.  

We watched the new Pinnochio movie in memory of Figaro, Gipetto's cat, in the movie.  Oh, Figaro.  Sad. :(


Brownie looking for Fig in the backyard by her grave.  More sadness. :(


I'm thankful I have this guy.  I just love that he sits by me so much.  Just feels comforting.



I love when he wants to be petted.


Just wondering maybe if this cat was the one fighting.  It was being aggressive towards Jack.  More sadness.  :(  
I'm sorry, Figgie.


Spring in the NW...green grass, perennials coming up, and snow.

My sweet boy.


Saturday, Autumn had to work.  Summer babysat for the youth pastor's kids.  I took Eric to the airport - he was flying out to Florida for work.  And Sierra made Joanna's Country Potato Soup with Crumbled Bacon for our dinner.  Good, comfort food.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
