Project 365...#2



Hey, Everyone! I found some days this week were difficult to take pictures, especially if I worked that day. I couldn't take a picture of my patients! I had a hard time with my son leaving to go back to school for his last semester at MSU. You would think I'd be used to the idea by now, but reality set in for me. John is hoping to leave Michigan this Spring for graduate school and most of you know my daughter lives in New York. It is still an adjustment for this Mom. I know it is the natural progression and I'm happy they are both secure enough to leave the nest! I'd appreciate some prayers if you don't mind! :)

Have a great day!
Love,
Angie xoxo

Ummm, I'd like some of that chicken pot pie!!! YUM!

And, what ever would we do without cell phones when the ones we love are so very far away?

JeanMac said...

I understand your feelings. When our sons left, I'd go to their bedrooms to just be "close" - sometimes I'd burst into tears - I guess I'm no help to you!

Nise' said...

Yep, know exactly how you feel! Wow that pot pie looks delicious.

Yes, I went through all that last year with Ian finishing college and heading to grad school. And, I lived through it. Yes, it's hard...but you will make it. Take pleasure in watching him go through new situations and grow and change!

I wonder how well that pot pie would travel through the mail?

Your haircut looks cute, by the way!

Praying for you right now and my heart feels the same sadness these days. All four of mine are gone. There are times when I get pretty down because I miss them. One is in Colorado, another is in Missouri, one is about an hour away, but I do have one who hung close to home and for that one I am thankful. Kristen is my only girl and has been a blessing to me over the past couple of years. Lord we know that when our children leave to find their own lives it is part of the cycle of life and thought they feel they are ready to go find their own way...it is difficult for us mothers to let them go.

Lord my request is that you comfort my sister Ang today as she moves into this new phase of her life. As mothers we choose to trust our children to you because you love them and care for them in ways we never could. Have your way in them, each one and in us as we learn to let go. Give us a new awareness of our changing life roles and help us to refocus as we struggle to come to terms with our new view of ourselves. Give us the ability to find our identity not in those things we have done or who we were to others, but in you alone. In Jesus mighty and precious name. Amen!

Praying.. Sorry to be a stranger!! I am trying to spend less time on the computer. :)

Kristen said...

Ang... you son is such a cutie! I am sure it's tough when they grow up. But take it from me... a son always loves his mama! Jim is so close to his mom and it's such a blessing to us! (fortunately I have a wonderful MIL) :)

OK... I want that pot pie recipe! It looks awesome. I loved the picture! And... I loved the picture of your son eating the leftovers!

How far is MSU from where you are?

Go Big 10!

Ohhhh - I do share your feelings. Kelly came home last week to surprise me and left Monday after her migraine treatment. I hit me when she left that she has truly moved away from home now. She is in Charleston and Kaiti,Robert and Collin are in NC. David and I are in Florida with no family now -just good friends. It really is difficult to get your heart around that one. Praying for you as we walk through this season. love, Kathy
Thank goodness for cellphones and planes!!!!

What is the best job I've ever had?
