Well, our baby is growing up.
Missie is 13 but quite mature for her age. We feel it is because of Preston's many problems and she is such a good help with him. Anyhow, I talked to her this a.m. She has been at youth camp and she said the Lord really moved. Praise the Lord she was able to attend. She needed that right now, more than anything else. But at the awards banquet a boy from PennView asked her to sit with him. She has thought this guy was cute and all, but was embarressed when he asked her because others were around. So she said yes and he even pulled out her chair for her, and I told her that was a true gentleman! I asked her now if she would like to move to PennView and she emphatically said, "Yes." We do not allow her at this age to be involved with boys, but this was a little different situation. I pictured he would have dark hair for some reason, but she said he had dirty blond hair. Anyhow, she was sooo elated. I reminded her of how to act like a lady, and she said she had been.
Today she leaves Knoxville and goes on down to where we pastored, or very close to there, and stay with her friend until next weekend. I am so glad the Lord worked it out for her to go, transportation wise. But we couldn't have done it with Preston in the hospital. My hubby is usually right (once in a while he is wrong, LOL) in that she needed to go, and he wanted her to go and made the decision. That is why God gave us good husbands to be the leaders of our homes and make final decisions. I want him to do this. Some women may not, but I do!!! He is very wise (not bragging, but when we pastored he was known for his wisdom) and not as emotional as I am, so it is much better for him to make these kinds of decisions. I thank the Lord for my good husband. We have been married almost 27 years and always stuck together through thick and thin, and continue to do so. Just had to share about our Missie.

Oh, Norma, it is hard to let them grow up!!! I am so glad Missie got to go to camp, and glad, too, that you have a strong husband. You need him right now to help you with all of this. I think God balanced us out perfect, a little emotion on the female side, and practicality on the male side. Together, it's a perfect ballance. Continued hugs and prayers!!! Cindy
