I ran back into the house up to the loft to get the lamp shade she wanted. I had already ran in three times and thought that I was finally going to relax in the van. It hit me hard that I HAD to take that lamp shade to Star that night. Mind you I still have a dress to take Jess but nope had to take that lampshade. At the time I thought it was one less thing that was in my house, now I know it was my reason to visit. I visit Star multiple times a week, talk almost daily. I could have easily took the lamp shade to school the next day to give it to Chris. I get there, squeeze Mr. Squishy’s cheeks (per the usual), he gave me some sweet loves. Star said “he hadn’t been wanting anyone and he just went straight to you”. It was short time and he went right back to his Mommy. Jon runs the shades into the house. We are talking and I ask Star to get in the van and bring the baby. Storee is the only one with me. I was doing some laundry at the laundry mat, the wash was done and I needed to switch it over before it closed. She said sure why not. On the way there we are chatting, Jacob is smiling, Storee wakes up from her nap. I run in to switch my laundry over and of course Star had to get Storee out of the car seat. The “twins” were laughing, holding hands, talking to one another, like they always did. We visit the entire dryer time. I drop her back off, give loves, and go get the rest of my crew.
At the time it was spir of the moment decisions. I thought I was being an air head just going here and there. Now I know that was God giving me the one last night of loves. I regret not getting a picture so bad. I gather all of this, God has the exact plan mapped out. He knew what I was going to need before I ever did. Even though I disagree with his plan on taking Jacob home so soon, this shows me he loves us. This gives me comfort. Every little detail God lined up so perfectly and I get to cherish it forever.
One week has flew by but now I’m one week closer to seeing Mr. Squishy and our amazing Heavenly Father.
