EBB AND FLOW

A busy morning.

Ben arrived very early looking very sleepy.

He went back to bed.  His dad had completed the first part of his journey to another soccer try out game.  Kim would then take him to the soccer field.  He is very happy and excited but I have a few mixed feelings about him leaving home next Sept. if he is chosen.  He will be living with another family and it will be a disciplined way of life that includes education as well as physical and mental abilities.  My friend Cathy asked me when we were having tea what my prayer for him and I just wish for the best for him

People coming and going.

Kim's friend Brittany has stayed over night and first Kim has to drive her to the ferry.

They spent the weekend in the States at Edmonds with mutual friends. 

After they all went their separate ways dad drove me to church to join our Bible study group.  Then he went for a bike ride.

We discussed the voice of God and how important it was to be a listener to receive divine inspiration that some call intuition.

Each one of us feel a desire to fulfill the purpose that God has for us as we try to do our best to do what is right.

Life will always be like a puzzle with it's ebb and flow and we will never figure it out until the last piece has been added!

It is like you guys live at grand central station, people coming and going at all hours.

Nothing going on at our house. No one coming or going. Cats, dogs, humans are all just hanging around.
