I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes


"And how I'm all wrapped up in my mother's face
With a touch of my father just up around the eyes"

My mom is in surgery right now and I haven't heard anything. I feel calm, but God grants me that peace. There's no way that could be any of us at a time like this. My mom has been my best friend and I can't imagine not hearing her sweet voice whenever I want.
I am praying for decisiveness. I am thinking about what I can handle this Fall and what I cannot. I know my reserves are low, because of going through an intense amount in a short while, but I also know Jesus understands that more than I ever will. Either way, wherever I am in the Fall, it's not going to be easy and I'll probably want to run at times and that's ok. 
I miss her today. I wish I could be there, but she wouldn't be able to talk to me anyway. I pray that she can feel the love of us all and mostly, Christ's unfailing compassion and strength.
