So I'm waiting for her to leave, hoping they change their minds and not go. Jo's coming down with something now, most likely a cold. Great, just what a person needs when they are driving nearly non stop to Oklahoma.
My heart is so heavy right now, I am so worried about them going and making it back in one piece. I keep asking the Holy Spirit if she'll be okay and make it home safe. I keep getting the answer - yes. But is it my wishful thinking or truly the Holy Spirit? Am I just fooling myself to keep myself from going crazy from worry? Or am I just being a totally faithless idiot and not allowing myself to be comforted by Jesus.
I guess I'll find out sometime between now and Sunday in the wee hours. We will either get a phone call from them, the highway patrol, my sister-in-law or no calls and no girls on our door step or the girls walking in the door dead on their feet from exhaustion and chattering away like maniacs with a bunch of silly stories that make them laugh.
Please God, let it be the last one. I pray this with all my heart. You alone know the depth and breadth of my fears when it comes to my girls. Please let the next few days pass quickly, without incident. Just bring her back to me in the shape she left here.
I'd like to say "That's all I have to say about that." But I'll stop blogging about it for today.

My love:
all things are possible with God.
trust the Lord with all thine heart, all thine soul, and all thine strength. Lean not on your own understanding. Acknowledge Him in all your ways, and He shall strengthen thine heart.
I think this is another opportunity to let God strengthen YOUR heart.
I love you...I love your boldness to speak such tender thoughts and fears. I would tell you to 'let go, and let God' - but that's what I see you trying to do.
Good job!
I am praying, of course!!
