Well, this week started out with my Dad leaving for Mexico. A friend of his has terminal cancer, and is going to Mexico to pursue treatment. Dad decided to accompany him, and at the same time get treatment for his prostrate cancer. This led to very mixed feelings for me. I'm very glad he's getting treatment, but at the same time, it made me unhappy. His stay is fairly open-ended at this point, and I think that's what caught me off guard. I'm used to knowing he'll be home at a certain time. It's definitely been a good time of trusting God.
This week ends out with a change, as well. But this one is all good! I finally made up my mind to start Driver's Ed. Soon I'll be driving!! Which is, to some people, a scary thought. However, for me it's exciting. My goal is to have my permit by the time Dad gets back from Mexico. It's definitely possible, because my brother went through his driver's ed. in four days. He didn't have school to do at the same time, though. So I'll be happy to get it done in a couple of weeks. ;)
Needless to say, both are things I would appreciate prayer for! Have a fabulous day!
I am praying for you with all these new adjustments. It can't be easy for your dad to be away...both for him AND for you. Hopefully it gets easier as time passes and hopefully you find yourself busy and preoccupied so that time just flies by.
ReplyDeleteAs for driving...FUN! I am really hoping to take it soon too! You'll have to let me know what to watch out for and what is hard and what you enjoy! :D
