I can't believe that my baby girl just turned seven years old today!! She has come so far and is amazing!!! Happy Birthday ab!!! Mommy loves you so very much!!
This past week, we had another bumpy road in life! It's funny how God uses our trials to teach us and to grow us! I am grateful for family membes who are there for us through thick and thin and never question what we need or how great the task! I am grateful for friends who stand beside us and lift us up and encourage us! This week, I have hit my all time low of not understanding life. I got a text from a friend that God has always used as an instrument of speaking truth into my life since we were little girls playing together! I don't think she realized the depth (Or maybe she did since she always seems to "get it") of what she was saying to me but this is the passage she sent... Psalm 27:13-14 "What would have become of me had I not believed to see the Lord's goodness in the land of the living! Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage, and let your heart be stout and enduring. yes, wait and hope for and expect th...
I don't know about you, but my kids are really into frozen right now. I hear the songs over and over. I hear them quoting the movie and I have to admit, if the movie isn't turned on at least once a day, I fear something is INCREDIBLY wrong within my home! Today, I was feeling quite thoughtful! I get that way often and I usually don't voice my thoughts outside of the realms of my home as much as I'd like! I know... SHOCKING! I have lots more to say than I really say! My thoughts here lately have been jumbled with LOADS of emotions... I heard someone sharing the other day how special needs families... families living with chronic illness often begin to feel secluded. They see their friends pull back... for many reasons! Sometimes it's because they're overwhelmed, sometimes because they don't understand, sometimes because they can't deal with trying to work around all the "needs" you have to accommodate just to walk out of your door......
What good is it? Ever ask that of yourself? Ever look around you and question why you try, why you care, or even what good it is to try to do right or to do what you know God wants you to do? I think we all have, to be totally honest! This morning, as I read the Bible, I sat thinking about this. I'll be honest! I have done that. There are times we struggle... whether it be financially, physical health, desires... that list can go on and on for every one of us! Then I see someone who's never gave much effort or has lived a life of doing nothing but everything against God... and they appear to be blessed or to have it all... A little jealousy sets in... right? Then you start to look at yourself and your own life and wonder why on earth you try so hard every day... Then I'm tripped up... my favorite line is God's got this... but I can stray from that! How easily I can stray from that! Then this morning, I asked God... what is it you want me...
