I get excited just writing all these things down...so many possibilities.
I hope your week is going good. My husband and I have been thrown yet another curve ball. For those of you that have been reading my blog for awhile...you know what a rough couple of months I have had. I was soooo confident all this stuff was behind us...but yesterday it came back to haunt to me, making me sick and sooo worried. I am not ready to share all the details but it involves someone so very dear to us. The choices this person is making is breaking my husband and I's heart, making it extremely hard to think about anything else.
However...
I woke up this morning determined not to get in the low place I was just 1 month ago. No...I BELIEVE I can get through this. I know it may require me to REACH deep down inside of me to find the courage I need...but I can do this.

I love that you used a Roller Derby photo. I play. Or used to before I took one too many back injuries. Now I ref. I don't think of Derby as being something you do because you are brave, I think of it as something you do because you love it.
ReplyDeleteKind of like making and sharing your art. ;)
Sending positive thoughts your way for you and your family. Love ya Les.
ReplyDeleteThat means so much to me, Sharla!!!
DeleteIt's so interesting to read your responses to the questions...they really make me feel like I know you even better! I haven't had the time to answer them yet, but I am looking forward to doing it. I really love that roller derby photo! So sorry about your family concerns right now...here's hoping things can be resolved in some way soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Andria...I know...I really want to read all of your responses, too. It's fun to see the "other" side!! Thanks for your concern...I know things will get better.
DeleteI wanted to act on Broadway too! I was so young then. :-) I too will be sending positive thoughts your way. :-)
ReplyDeleteDear friend, praying that you all will KNOW that you are held in the Everlasting Arms. Please do not hesitate to let me know if there is anything specific I can pray for. If this involves either of the children, REMEMBER that God loves those kids more than you and your husband ever could, and that all that happens is for their good and His glory. Many's the time I have had to (out loud) surrender my children to the Lord, asking that His will, not mine, be done.
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing and I love ya!
DeleteWhat fun responses. I haven't started yet, but I will journal this weekend! Your page is wonderful, and I am sorry you're going through a hard time. I look forward to being a part of your group!
