Yesterday I never got here it was a busy day!
I am so thankful to be at home today and just pausing this morning to ponder the quiet blessings I have here. I am in my sunroom on my sofa, along side me are my two dogs stretched out in the suns rays. They are happy to be with me after my being gone a good portion of yesterday. It was a productive day and I am satisfied in the results of an appointment we had. God is good! The meeting I had was with a principle at a high school to arrange the use of their field and bathroom facilities for an Out of The Darkness walk to raise money and awareness in the prevention of suicide. There is much to this organization and I am only just getting to know this about it at this point.
We set our date, and so much more in this visit. The students will be getting involved as well and we may have set off a yearly event in this one appointment. I am pleased that this will help many and I am honored that it will be for a lasting memory of my son. This is also so hard as no mother wants to try and memorialize a child because they have died. So it begins the planning of a great walk event that may save,encourage, or bolster some other family in their suicide grief walk on a daily basis for years to come. Out of yesterday comes a chance for me to meet students and be a voice in other's lives that may make a difference . So many changes in my life right now. I walk on in this journey looking for meaning in a tragedy that need not have happened. This will be a help for many and that is what my son would have wanted for sure .
Today I have work to get done as I prepare for a wonderful women's retreat I am headed to tomorrow afternoon. I am expecting to see old friends and meet some more new ones as well. I also plan on some much needed time seeking my Savior in the rest of this weekend. It helps that it is on a lake in a beautiful setting. Isaiah 30:15 says : "In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength." ....
So I pray you as well will be blessed as we are coming to the end of yet another week. I will be back in a few days with some new thoughts . :)
