RJ and College

Image
  RJ is a senior in high school and will be graduating in a few months. He applied to several colleges and received acceptances from 3 in California, 3 in New York and one in North Carolina. We heard from the last two on Friday. He has been given some amazing offers. I am so proud of him. He has worked very hard. One school is pretty much a full ride. It's now up to him to decide which state he wants to study in and what school he wants to do it in. He has a lot to factor in. I am praying for him as he makes this choice.  I want God's best for him.  I love my son and it's been a joy and honor to watch him grow into an amazing young man. God is good.

2 Better Than One

Image
 I almost asked Pastor Linder if he was standing behind me at the park when I had been talking to God on Friday. I know of course he wasn't. The sermons today went along with what I shared this weekend. I want to say that I appreciate Bro. Linder. He's hilarious. He also loves the Lord and preaches as He believes God is leading him. I do want to make something very clear. I truly believe that two are better than one. I do believe that a couple needs to work hard to keep their marriage strong. I am not for divorce. There are some situations where it's avoidable and it's best. That being said, if you are bored with each other, it's time to start getting to know one another again. Relearn each other. Work at it.  There was a day that you loved each other so much that you wanted to marry each other. Find that new spark.  I am single. I was married. I am not going to go into why I got a divorced. God knows why. The people I trust the most know why and that is enough.  To...

Court Papers, 75 Years and a Horse

Image
  Today has been an interesting day. Some I will share and some I will keep to myself. I was notified that I need to go back to the NY Supreme Court because RJ’s dad has filed for emancipation. Meaning- he won’t have to pay for child support or anything towards RJ’s college. I’m not surprised by this. RJ will be 18 in October. I have no desire to fight. I would rather never see a court room again. So, I will show up in the courtroom and allow the judge to grant Bob’s request.  Today is also my mom (Iris’) 75th birthday. RJ and I had a nice time with her. She enjoyed her birthday pizza and liked her cupcake. We are adjusting to this new normal. At the end of the day, I stopped by to say hello to my horse friend.  RJ and I soaked up the quiet peace that surrounded us. Sometimes life is a roller coaster of a day. God is still good through it all.
