So much on my mind that I do not know where to start!
Thanksgiving was good, better than I thought it would be but still hard, hard because a lot of things aren't how they should be, good because I was with wonderful friends, and I was also to be with my family and also because I conquered a fear instead of running and taking the easy way out, I did it and got it over with, it is still a situation that will always be hard and always be not how it should but I have to think that could be worse.
Even though things are good right now I have to remind myself that I still have to work though and do all that the Lord is telling and teaching me, it is always easy to just let everything go when things are good, but I don't want to go down that path because I know that something will happen and everything I have felt before and everything that was hard and painful will come back again!
The question was asked that even when you do get to the point of forgiveness do you open yourself up to be vulnerable again or do you guard yourself with the person who hurt you, knowing that he/she is capable of hurting you again? Of course everyone will hurt us one time or another, but there are some people in our lives that continually hurt us.
What are your thoughts???

Unto the Lord
We all have those in our lives that are beyond difficult to love, that have absolutely nothing in our eyes to even deserve our love and respect.
Recently in a bible study, we were discussing what the bible has to say about marriage and divorce, the latter is my least favorite subject. Nevertheless, one woman brought up the fact that there are days when it is difficult to love your spouse, you are in a bad mood they are in a bad mood yet we are called to love, how do you love your spouse how you are supposed to then? We are called to love and serve them unto the Lord
For me this opened my eyes to see that I need to love and serve those are beyond difficult to love not to them or for them but unto the Lord. I know this is way easier said than done, but this is one way that we can show Jesus to those who are difficult to love, and we ask Jesus to give us strength everyday to love and serve them instead of taking a 2x4 to their head!!

God is Always with You!
No matter what you are facing today, you are not alone, weather it is facing the reality of the blueprints of your life being not what you thought they would be and they are now left riped into pieces, or you just had a bad day, God is always with you!
The LORD your God is with you. He is a hero who saves you. He happily rejoices over you, renews you with his love, and celebrates over you with shouts of joy. —Zephaniah 3:17

Keep Breathing
So I know that it has been forever since I last updated...life has been crazy but full of many blessings at the same time!!
I am waiting...I hate waiting, my mind thinks too much when I wait.
I am waiting for my second surgery for my foot... there are times when I am good, and know that it is all happening in God's perfect plan and timing and other times like today when I am freaking out and wanting to run for the hills because I am scared and not ready for all that is to follow after surgery. I do not like the unknown and this is a big scary unknown. Even when I do freak out I still know that God is leading me down this road, but it's still hard.
What is even harder is everything else...life never stops especially it seems for me that it is one thing after another or its lots of things all together, some are little and some are big, and some are even bigger than I am.
Just like in Finding Nemo when Dory is telling Nemo to just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming...I tell myself to just keep breathing. I found this song today and it met me right where I am and spoke to my heart, I hope it does the same to you wherever you are in life to just keep breathing!
