Boom A Zoom
I had been praying that my sense of the conditions in the other grandparent house were just envy on my part. I miss my older (3 and 6) GKs terribly when I don't get to see them. I havenae had time to know the baby and. . . Need I say more?
Alas, this morning's call from the caseworker indicated otherwise. Both he and the child advocacy lawyer feels the need is urgent and have had enough trouble communicating with the other grandparents that they have a forceable removal on the agenda for tomorrow morning. The caseworker will set out on the 3 hour drive north to deliver the children into our custody immediately after the removal. Yowza. I reckon it's good news that I don't have to weather the post-interview waiting anxiety, but a bit more civil decency would have been sweet. Life is as life is and not as *I* would have ^it^. Hubs and I are feeling fairly confident that we have processed the enormity of this move well enough to be as ready as we ever will be for the challenge. Prayers ongoing. Letting God lead the dance.
School starts Wednesday. It seems like allot for an almost first grader to process a forceable removal and signing into a new school on the same day, but he is no stranger to this house. He has attended church in the school cafeteria, so he has even been to the new school. We see what grows.
Meanwhile, I am just back from buying a crib, high chair and baby walker. I love puzzles. A few assembly puzzles might be the ideal medication for the jitters which are hitting with tsunami force.

Bless you Arfie, you guys are doing right by them and sending good wishes you will do great!!
I think this is nice.
Ditto on Mark...God Bless You and Hubby....may all be smooth sailing, with the wind at the backs of the social workers with removal and departure...for a New Beginning life for your GK's.
Prayers in Progress for All, as you let God Lead Your Dance!
Happy dance hugs. The wait is over.
Prayers up, gratitude ones that they have you, and request ones that he give you and hubs strength and peace through out this beginning and into all that follows. Triple hugs~
Wonderful arfie. The children are truly loved. It might be a lot to process with the move and school but I'm confident all will be well with your love.
Lit a candle for you today Arfie
Sending lot of support & gentle hugs <3
Thank you, my sibs-in-healing. Support both needed and appreciated.
The good news is that I slept well last night. This meditation hour finds me managing well at staying calm and mindful with the long list of uncertainties of how this day will end or how tomorrow's meditation hour will look. Just open and able to do my honest best with what Life gave me to work with.
Stepping small, praying big and holding the love sacred. Prayers in progress. . . Listening for The Quiet Voice.
Ah yes, Arfie...those 'quiet voices' for me are nuggets of God Whispers of guidance, for some type of action for my Highest Good...
With the hope that Litlmissy7's candle burning bring you the ancient wisdom of the Native Indian
"Meaning of the Fire Symbol
Fire symbolized the heart of the People and its smoke, which could also be created in a pipe, carried prayers to the Great Spirit. The Fire Symbol represents cleansing and renewal because out of the ashes of a fire comes new growth and new thoughts and ideas."
