Great Anticipation!!!

It is almost 5 AM. I usually get up and go to the gym on Fridays at 6AM. I woke up at 1:30
this morning. Wes was not home and it startled me. I called and he was at the UK library cramming for a final. He is officially moving out this Saturday, the same day Denis arrives.
He has waited all semester to get into his own place and I remember being his age and
wanting to be on my own. I a happy for him because he is really ready to go.
I am sad because I am not sure what to expect with him gone. I know it is the normal course
of events that he would be on his own, but honestly, I want him here, with me. My heart
aches this morning. My baby...who is now 19, is about to spread his wings. He will have
the opportunity to practice (or not), all of the things he has been taught. My prayer is that
he will run to the Lord. I know,he is not dead, just moving across town. It's just sad.

Then, the joy of having Denis with me. I believe that it is all God's perfect timing and wonderful
provision for both Denis and me. He has been unusually silent. I normally get a lot of phone calls.
I am anxious to get him here and see what is stirring in that little heart of his.

I have decided to fly to New York to meet his plane on Saturday. I leave Lexington
at 11:45 on Saturday morning. My plan is to meet his plane when it arrives from Ukraine.
His connection is so short, I want to insure that he and his group make it by rushing them
to where they need to go. Please pray for our reunion. I especially desire that he know the true
meaning of Christmas. What a wonderful time to have him here!!!! Thanks for praying and I will
do my best to post while he is here.

Love,

Cathy
