Hello Monday! It's good to see you......

I'm always happy when the weekend rolls around!! I get to spend quality time with Mark and there's a relaxed unhurried feel, to our time together. Sunday, I get to spend time of rejuvenation, at Church, in my spiritual "hot tub". It's a time to catch up with my church family, to learn from my spiritual leaders and to take off those things I need to give to God and put on those things He wants to give to me. I love the weekend, yes, but I love Monday, too....Don't hate me, please!! Monday is the beginning of a new week....another week closer to having my family together again!! Mark and I truly feel incomplete, without Mariah!! We love Donovan too, but his life is the way he wants it to be, in Texas. He has little time or want for us and though this makes us sad, we understand his need to individualize. We were hoping that Mariah would be coming to live with us, this summer....to start her High School career here, in California. It doesn't look like that's going to happen...Her mother gives her a lot more freedom than I would allow. Not that I'm overprotective or unwilling to let her experience the world, I just believe that fourteen is a little young to be testing her adult independence. She's also getting zero spiritual or religious support, either!! Her mother is a pagan; A self proclaimed witch, so the Christian upbringing of her children is not paramount in her mind. I feel almost heartbroken that she would chose her life there, in Texas, over what her father and I can give her, here in California.....A strong sense of family, a loving and teaching church family, guidance, support and love, understanding and the opportunity to do things that she wouldn't normally get to do. She is a child though and thinks as a child does and Satan is in their midst, giving Mariah exactly what she wants, keeping her there, to prevent her from becoming an awesome child of the Most High. I have begun to pray and believe for a miracle......I am asking that all of my friends and loved ones, come into agreement with me and pray and believe for a miracle, regarding Mariah, as well. That the will of God will be revealed to us and that we will have to opportunity to love and parent this young lady, sooner, rather than later. From the bottom of my heart, I love Mariah!! It's an honest unconditional love and I want the best for her, but I won't force her to do anything against her will, nor will I make her promises that I cannot keep....We'll just have to wait and see how God works...I mean, look what He did, with Mark and I.....We were headed for divorce!! There was no human hope for us....but God is greater!!
I'll not be going to scripture with my blog, today!! I'm going to use Monday as just a chat day!! I will return to Proverbs 31, tomorrow....I had better battle on, I notice that it's now 12:20 and I need to get some work done!! Thanks for sharing some time with me....Love each other as He loves and I'll catch you on the flip side, tomorrow!!
In Him,
Lisa
