Our oldest has been gone for a month in a half. It's been a difficult transition to make but we're getting by. A piece
of our puzzle is missing and we're missing her dearly. She lives
about 20 minutes away but it seems as though it's 2,000. She's starting her life and I know God's got amazing plans for her! She's our
grown baby! We're so proud of her and treasure the time we get to share with her!
Our second to the oldest misses her big sister dearly. God works in mysterious ways. The two oldest girls use to fight like cats and dogs about everything, until about four or five years ago. They share everything with each other now! An answer to our prayers!
Robert's been a great encouragement to me during this. I've struggled a great deal about letting go and letting God. Through prayer, scripture reading, and silence, God's opened my eyes to see the wonderful things He's doing and going to do in her life. He keeps telling me, "trust Me, Hollie". You see, I have huge trust issues, but that's for another post. It's just part of parenting and the first will be hard.
I'm so thankful and blessed that we have an amazing circle of family and friends to share this with! A Lord that is sweet, merciful, patient, graceful, understanding and loving; God is SO good!
Oh, how I miss giving her hugs and kisses whenever I feel like it!
Please continue to pray for her, her walk with God, her job, and the difficult choices ahead. The real world is hard, cold and misleading. But our God will show her the way as she lets her light shine through this dark world. Pray also for her grandparents, Rob's mother and father caring and providing for her. And last but not least each of our other three children, missing their big sister and of course her daddy and I.
Blessings and Love,
Hollie

However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him."
