Ghosts in the graveyard....

I love this little boy. He's a genius. Yesterday, he told me my car
looks more like a range rover than a jeep. He knows more than I do
about cars. (which doesn't say much, but he's two). He can tell when I'm stressed and decides that he's stressed too (those are the moments when I would exchange the word "love" with something a little different). But he is a good snuggler. AND he's about to be a big brother! This is my last week with him (and my last week in Anderson), so I'm feeling particularly emotional about him.
Today we went for a walk and found ourselves in the giant cemetery gorgeously decorated for memorial day. My past couple experiences in graveyards have been nothing more than sadness. It was nice to find joy in such a heavy place. This was one of those moments. And I decided that if God can find me in the aisles of a cemetery, he can and will meet me in the darkest corners of my world. He brings light and speaks gently. He reminds me that he knows what going on, what's going to happen, and that His plan is better than mine. I'm not the most calm-able person on the planet these days.... but that right there, is the peace that passes understanding in my book....
