When it rains...

it pours.

There has been lots of news this week. Lots of held breaths, sighs of relief, and also sighs of sorrow. Many many MANY prayers.

Babies born early.
Fantastic surprises!
Babies born REALLY early.
More babies being born early.
Battles being fought. And lost. And hearts being broken.
Battles moving forward. Hopefully.
Visas?
Jobs?

I feel so thankful that I am over my SELF and can't believe I spent so much of this semester wallowing in self pity when there is so much more tragedy in my world than the pile of broken pencils left on my desk. Thank you God for open eyes.

Love to all my dear dear friends and family!
