Have you ever had something in your life that you literally lived for. Breathed for. Gave everything of yourself for? I do.
Have you ever had someone who needs to inflict pain on you to make themselves feel better? I have.
Well, combine the two and its horrendous. To have someone intentionally criticize what you love most and work hardest for. Just never good e
Every Tuesday night since the separation of my ex husband and I, my dad takes my children and I out for a special date night to a local restaraunt for their kids night fun. It has become a huge deal to my son and he excitedly awaits Tuesday nights!
Today will be the first time he will be with his father on a Tuesday night since we have started this tradition 6 months ago. I happily tried to explain to him that Daddy was going to take him to kids night tonight and make it sound like an awesome and wonderful idea only to hear his response…”But mom, maybe our whole family can come tonight instead.” …Cue the heart breaking sounds…He is 3.
I love my little man. I hate that he has to have these sad realizations as he is getting older.
I wanted to take a sec and Thank the Lord for the joy and peace He is providing me. I am so glad to have given my life to HIm and He is indeed faithful. My heart is so joyful.
May the joy in the Lord be your stregnth.
My parents made it possible for the kids and I to join them on a vacation this past weekend up to Pennsylvania to visit with some really great friends we consider family. It was such a simple and yet wonderful experience. Got a chance to catch up with som, reconnect with others and even reconcile with some you love the most.
Being around such wonderful people is so incredibly rejuvenating. I am so grateful to God for them.
Peace is amazing.
Ya know, since these last 8 or so months since I have been actively pursuing Christ (not just being content as a benchwarmer) it has just been amazing. I’ve been in the middle of the most difficult and trying times in my life yet I have peace and joy.
God has been so utterly faithful and He is continually working all around me everyday. I was always so scared to really dive in head first and give it ALL up to Him but since I did…holy cow it’s been awesome!
I don’t know why I was so scared. I truly understand the phrase “a peace that passes all understanding.” Peace has been a very difficult thing for me to achieve in all of my life but not now. Not after simply knowing He loves me and will protect me in all situations. Life won’t be full of daisies (it sure isnt now) but eveen through it all…it’s worth it.
