Our first week with the kids has come and gone. Today the rest of the family begins to arrive coming for Amber’s graduation. I’m always a little amazed when I think about this. Here I am with my kids’ stepmom. Today the stepdad arrives and tomorrow their mom arrives. Their mom and step dad divorced several years back but we all support our kids equally and we all get along well. God has brought about the necessary healing each of us needed so we could see beyond our own hurts. I’ve wondered what it would have been like to have had a ministry like Celebrate Recovery 50 years ago. Would I have gone to it? I was so steeled off to my “not so past” reality that I doubt I’d even considered attending. No one knew anything about my childhood so I wouldn’t have had anyone to encourage me. All of this is past anyway. I’m just so glad that God has been faithful to provide the healing each of us needed so we can support our kids collectively.

Our God is so AMAZING!
