Sandy arrived back home this afternoon! Another remarkable improvement - thanks for continued prayers. She has a few hours of school work to complete, her office to clear out and items to give away (no immediate deadline for that though!), and then "all" she needs to do is find her new normal without teaching. While she's glad to be able to rest more and is definitely looking forward to more time with friends and family, retirement is also, in some ways, a loss. It is often difficult to let go of an ended season and hold empty hands still while trusting that God will fill the new season with just the right things. Additionally, though having to get up, get ready, and teach was a challenge this semester, it also helped her not dwell on often overwhelming physical difficulties.
Please pray for continued healing, renewed purpose, pain management without side effects, and moments of laughter in each day.
This next week will be full of fun as she reads through the cards she has received and opens gifts received. You all have been tangible expressions of God's love to her, and for that we are all thankful.
