Matthew's been out of the nest for three full weeks now. I think of him so much and pray for him so much. I had a good phone conversation with him a couple of nights ago and HE CALLED ME! Hurrah! 
I'm a breast cancer surviving, Jesus loving, retired homeschooling mom of four and wife to my high school sweetheart for 35 years...doing what I can with what I've got where I am
on a short shoestring budget!

Thank you so much for "talking back" to me!
I read all comments and appreciate them.
Please make sure I have your email if you want me to respond or pray for you.
God bless you! This life only works with Jesus. The next life is a continuation of this one—make sure you spend it with Jesus. Jesus is the only way to God the Father!

What a beautiful son you have! I am sure you will get use to it! It is hard to let out children go! But the independence is such a great thing for kids! I will keep both of you in my prayers! He will be fine! He looks like a confident young man!
ReplyDeleteOh Laura, I can so identify. When my son was 19, he went on a two year mission for our church. We only talked to him on Christmas and Mother's Day! It was such a growing and learning experience for him.
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome young man! I know that you have given him all the skills he needs to succeed in life and do well. Just keep encouraging and loving him!
Hugs,
Barb
