Ok, I know my nest is far from empty, but it is incredible how the dynamics of a home change with only one or two people gone. It is really weird and very quiet around here. I don't really understand why it seems quiet when it is the big boys that are gone, but it is true, it is oddly quiet.
I have been asked many many times how I felt about Joshua going away for the summer and I answered honestly that I am ok with it. But... I must now be honest and admit that my heart hurt last night when I talked to him after his first full day gone and he sounded ... reserved. He is concerned about things... the people he will be working with, the work, the hours, etc. Any my momma heart wanted to go there and rescue him and make it all better. But, I know that I can not. And I know that I should not. God has Joshua there for a reason, His reason and I know He has great plans for Joshua. It will not be easy for him or for me, but it is needed. I know he will grow. I know I will grow through this experience. I mostly KNOW that God has him covered.
Jonny will be going for another week. The other intern was not able to make it and thus they are short and so he will be working next week. Originally next week was the week of our church camp and so he was not available for that week, but our camp was moved and so now he is available.
Side note: A large turtle came into the yard today. Hannah and Stephen wanted to keep him as a pet, but we just enjoyed him for a while and watched him go on his way.
