"Your Life is Quietly Aligning"

I filed for divorce in November 2025 and it was finalized at the end of May 2026. Consequently, Waller Bucees has become a standard every other weekend for possession change.  I feel like you either LOVE Bucees or you hopped on the HATE train.  Personally, I find Bucees to be spot on with whatever season of life we are in and I am absolutely obsessed.  Speaking of season of life, I wandered in last weekend and found a keychain I wanted to buy that said "His mercies are new." I’ve always been drawn to that Bible verse because it gives me a renewed hope each morning, but when I went to check out and got in my vehicle, I realized I had bought the wrong keychain. It was by His divine will that I got the one that said "What a friend we have in Jesus." I was initially annoyed with myself but I took a moment to let that sink in and came to the realization that it was meant to be.  He has been my constant through the dark 2026. He shines rays of light through my children’s hearts and their souls rejoice in the Lord. I am so grateful to have an intimate relationship with Jesus and pray that my children have the same enduring constant friendship.  My prayer is that the Lord will sprinkle us with His love during the continued transition from Katy to College Station!  I have been blessed with a wonderful Executive Assistant job at Texas A&M University and it feels good to be back in "God's Country" raising my kids.  We are temporarily in an apartment with our new home build on the final stretch.  The hope is to be in at the beginning of December so we can prepare for Jesus's (and Layne's) birthdays.  The title of this post "Your Life is Quietly Aligning" was the fortune in my cookie last weekend.  I am going to take this as another sign to keep joining my yolk to His and keep the faith that there is joy and light in the future.  Amidst the moving, Zeus has a new forever home with the Pleasant's a few doors down from our new home!  It will be so fun to be close.
