@Joan: Thanks for stopping by to comment today. I can understand how depression can hit with such a big life change as an empty-nester.
Thank you for sharing your feelings and adding to the voices on this topic that everyone needs more of: laughter!

@Michelle: Hi Michelle! Sounds like I just met another Faith Barista! Our faith paths are similar. Your story is unique to you, but for sure, it is hard being thrown a left curve when we were planning to go straight! You are right. You ARE in His will and I’m banking you will have many stories to share of His blessings later down the years. For now, you and I gotta get by laughing! .. by God’s grace. Wonderful to have you here.

“You see, I worried much more about what God’s will was in my life, rather than trusting my life was already in His will.”

Wow! Thank you Bonnie! I came over here from Heart to Heart with Holly and I am so blessed by this post. I think I am here to stay!:)

You reminded me of some things that I have longed forgotten. I have the same story as another post. I was called “into the ministry” to teach and did it for 5 years. My husband and I adopted 2 children from China and I became a full time Mama. The plan was to go back to teaching when the girls went to school. However, my husband became disabled from a back injury and I now needed a job that paid more money. So I went back to an earlier career in the business world and he became Mr. Mom.

I found myself whining about – what was His Will? How could THIS be His Will…something else must be coming. I now know that I AM in His Will and he has shown me that with SO MANY blessings along the way.

Thanks for the reminder to have FUN. The Lord gave us our sense of humor so I am sure He must want us to use it.

God Bless!
Michelle

Yeah! I love to have fun…but have been in a depression since our home has become an empty-nest. With our children recently all grown and moved away, I feel such a void. My ministry is my inner-city classroom full of first graders. I sure could use some side-splitting laughter! Thanks for your encouragement!

I stumbled upon your blog while reading our friend Bradley Moore’s blog. I’ve found him to be one of the most creative and consistently valid bloggers I read. I’ve also had the feeling that people who read his work are usually pretty good at thinking and expressing themselves, too. Your blog was no exception. Very human and authentic. Very sensible. I’ll visit again. Hope you will get as close to Christ as possible. And stay there! Keep up your good work.
