We're back.....

As you all probably know we had a life changing event in our small little family this year. I have all of this covered and if you don't know you can read everything that happened here Robpowell.org. We consider ourselves very blessed to have Robert still here with us.

Many people have said that they can't possible understand how it feels, what we are going through, what I'M going through. Yes, its a lot. BUT

WE ARE STILL HERE, WE ARE STILL US. DON'T BE AFRAID TO TALK TO US.

I have been told:

"You'll definitely find out who your friends are the first year. Some will leave, some will stay and stick by you."

I couldn't agree more.

There are many people that I don't talk to at all, that I probably talked to on a daily basis. Sad Really. I miss them.

BUT here we are. Robert, Hollie, Caleb, and Sarah back home. We have been home for the last 3 months.

Adjusting, Mourning, Grieving, Laughing, Yelling, Arguing, Loving, Crying

I pray everyday for:

Strength

Wisdom

Strength

Understanding

Strength - Did I mention strength?!?!

This is the HARDEST thing I have ever done in my life.

EVER.

I get keep going everyday for :

My kids, my husband, BECAUSE they can't do this without me. No one else will do it for them. I'm IT!

Yikes, its hard to type that out. So much responsibility, Very big shoulders.

I'm doing it though. Sometimes I don't know how, but then I remember my favorite verse.

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Phil 4:13

 HE has gotten me this far. and Only him. Thank you God for picking me up, EVERY TIME I fall.
