Cough, cough, cough… cry… snore, snore, snore… that's what I hear right now. One sweet child is finally fever free after a week. His voice is still raspy, and he still has a cough, but "all better" is just around the corner. His sister, probably has a few more days to go… fortunately she doesn't tend to get as sick as he does, but she is more likely to invade our sleep. Which is only a problem if I need to function the next day. lol

Tonight I go to sleep praising the Lord that they are both on the way to well, their sickest moments of this virus seem to be past, and hopefully in a couple days all will be back to normal-whatever that is :)

I saw this about a week before I had the opportunity to live it again.  We are blessed. I have lived the truth of Psalm 68:6, more than once. It says "God setteth the solitary in families". And for me, He has. He has set me in multiple families!  I do not take that for granted!  I have had to make hard choices to step away from biological family that is/was not healthy or a people who looked out for my safety and well-being.  I am sure they have made choices that they believed to be best for themselves, but they were damaging to me and would have been unsafe for my children.   As a "solitary" person who has sought to love the Lord and His people,  I have been blessed to experience His unconditional adoptive love through His people.  The people He has placed in my life for me to love and be loved by.  I am always amazed when the families of those I love like family accept and me and my kids rather than being threatened ...

So excited. The bits and pieces seem to be coming together quite nicely for a summer adventure… me & my kids-a road trip in California. :) Summer is a little ways off still, but I can at least dream of the sun when I can't see it :). If I get the answer I am hoping for from one more couple… and call Brad's aunt, we should be able to make the whole trip with no hotel stays, and get to see at least 9 friends… Barbara is making great strides in her potty training. Good times… good friends… good memories… I can hardly wait!!!!!!!

Dottie George Prof. Ryterband English 3A 26 November 2019 Mentoring I believe mentoring is very important. Children don’t learn to be adults simply by being given a bunch of rules to follow. They learn by choosing to follow the leading of adults they love and respect. Mentoring can be formal or informal. There are programs like Big Brother Big Sister of America that pair kids with mentors. These programs are great and can make a difference in the lives of children, but sometimes the child can feel more like a project, like the adult mentor is trying to fix them. I believe informal mentorship is far better, perhaps because I greatly benefitted from it myself. As a high-risk teen from an abusive and neglectful home, I was fortunate to encounter several people who took me under their wings and showed me my life could be different. The four that made the biggest impact are those I call Grandma Lady, Grandpa Man, The Mom-Type-Person (or Mom), and Dad. Of these four Grandma Lady reached out ...
