Hard decision brings peace

Yesterday was a very sad day for our family. We had to let go of a dear friendship due to pressure from the husband. To put it plainly, we were I guess you could say, persecuted, for our faith. We became friends with the neighbors on Hannah's 10th birthday. Enjoyed many, many days with them. Then questions started about our faith and yesterday morning, the husband called and told me for an hour and a half about all the things we believe are wrong, and that we are a c---,(many consider this a bad word to say, so I'll insert dashes there, and put the rest here ult.) Hope you caught that. The stipulation was given for us to continue being friends, that we had to know that he knew our way is wrong. We know we are walking the right way, the planned way of God, but as humans, we also know we can fail. So, we felt if we continued to be friends, that we would be making the statement that our way is wrong. So thankful to know it isn't our way, its God's.
Today, I feel peace, knowing that even though Shawn and I have never had to face this or had to discard friendship, God sees and knows what truly is in each heart.
In light of a care update I read for Jess, what we are facing is nothing. She is facing death at 29, with 3 small girls. In the days ahead, I hope to learn the lesson of praying more for others in their needs, like I know many have been doing for us. Thank you for that.

Warm days, then cold!

We have had wonderful weather, sunny skies and even 90 degrees one day. The flowers all popped up, grass needed mowed,( which I did on April2!), and we were getting so spoiled. Then the cold weather came back, milder than winter, but colder than we were getting use to. So, temp is getting into the low 60's now, and at night dropping back in the low 40's. Don't want to sound like I'm complaining, after thinking of a friend that is facing cancer, I want to appreciate all gifts that come from above. Running to the chiro every few days from the accident, and finishing up schooling, we are pretty busy. In fact, I need to shorten this post today, will catch up later on the extent of my injury and the growing antics of the children, and animals!
