Missing Her Like Crazy!

I. Just. Miss. Her!  It is so strange how I am going about my daily tasks and am really doing okay and then I get a punch in the gut of full grief that just simply takes my breath away and of course brings on the tears.  It is usually nothing significant that brings it on either, so strange, and i am wondering how long it will last.  Her empty (not really empty, but empty of her and her mess!) is really difficult.  She spent a lot of time in there and honestly, I like it better knowing she is there than 3+ hours down the road!  My daughter gives the best hugs and it is amazing how much I miss them- it actually physically hurts (just telling the truth, not being dramatic!)

I didn't hear from her ALL DAY yesterday because they weren't allowed to have their phones with them and it didn't thrill me to get a text around 8:30 that said, "just got home." HOME???? Are you kidding me- HOME is here with me and clearly she wasn't here!! I did end up getting to have a 16 minute phone conversation that made my day, I don't mind the texting conversations (we continued to have a texting convo for over an hour planning her today's attire) but hearing her voice did this momma some good.

The change in attire through her for a loop. She had the perfect dress, shoes, earrings and even bracelet, but at the last minute Panhellenic changed things and STRONGLY encouraged them to wear shorts! Well, my little bird is a rule follower so thankfully she had plenty of options and the recruitment clothes crisis was diverted! What a blessing that she wanted my help instead of the 300+ girls she lives with.  I am telling you, it doesn't take much for this momma!

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.

Encouragement for her  that if she trusts Him with her life, and looks to Him, He will clearly guide her. Even to the right sorority.

Oh yeah, did I mention that I will get to see her in TWO DAYS!!! Heading up there to bring her some "much needed stuff" and participate in recruitment with her legacy! My sister is making the trip with me and WE CAN'T WAIT!!!
