Back to the grind...

Well, tomorrow is the first official day back. I can't believe that I am having to leave Lucy McLean. I know that I have been blessed to be home with her for almost 5 months, but it will still be hard to leave her in the morning. I know that it sounds so cliche', but I have no idea what we did before her. I am grateful that the Lord allowed mine and Melissa's paths to cross. I don't know what I would do if I didn't know that LM was going to be in GREAT hands and loved on all day. It seems like yesterday that she was this tiny (well if you call 8 lbs 11 oz tiny) baby.

Now she is getting to be such a big girl with lots of personality. I am going to miss her noises, even the crying, during the day. I will miss those beautiful huge blue eyes and her cutie patootie grin. I think I might even miss being puked on! Tomorrow will be especially hard because I have class at Western tomorrow night. So, LM will leave with her Daddy at about 6:45 in the morning and I won't see her again until 9 or 10 at night :(. Say a little prayer that I can be somewhat productive at work tomorrow!

As I try to make it through, I will keep these two verses in mind...

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart,
as working for the Lord, not for men.
Colossians 3:23

God is not unjust;
He will not forget your work and the love
you have shown Him as you have helped His people
and continue to help them.
Hebrews 6:10
