What If I Told You

My heart is heavy tonight for you, my friend.  I want you to know that you will get through this divorce.  You will overcome.  I will do anything to help you through it.  I will listen when you need to be heard.  I will cry with you when you feel lost.  I will laugh with you on a good day.  And, I will celebrate with you when you overcome.

I know you feel like you have no clue what you are doing anymore.  You have so many thoughts and emotions.  There are so many questions that you don't know how to answer.  You feel like you are just stuck in this moment of time.  All you want is for things to be normal again.   

What if I told you that you didn't have to do it alone.  You don't have to worry or fear. You don't have to carry this heartache or the burden that comes along with this divorce.  You don't have too.  All you need is a little faith.  Trust God and allow Him to help you through.  Give Him all your burdens and fears and He will carry them for you.  I can only do so much.  But our God.. gracious, He has the power to restore you stronger than you were before!  That is something I learned first hand.  

Sometimes, it takes a tragedy to draw us closer to God. And that's okay.  He loves us no matter what.  I want you to experience ALL the love that God has for you.  I want you to experience the peace that passes all understanding.  But mostly, I want you to have faith in God to completely let go and let God show you what only He can do.  Once you do that, your life-your journey down this path, will never be the same.

Thank You, God, for Making Me a Mom

Looking back on my life, when I was just a small girl, I dreamt of becoming a mother one day. Being a mom was the only thing I wanted to be when I grew up.  I didn't have aspirations to be a doctor or a lawyer or a teacher.  I simply wanted to be a mom.  So today, I am so thankful to my God.  He is the one who allowed my childhood dream of motherhood to come true. I am truly humbled that he picked me to be Cody and Owen's mommy. I come from a lineage of women who set the perfect example of what it is to be a great mom. The love of a mother is endless, as my mom, continues to show me even as I am an adult and have children of my own.   Today is the day we celebrate our moms and all of their hard work.  To show our appreciation to the one who has cared for us and loved us from day one.  As I celebrate my mother and all she continues to do, I am also reflecting upon my God.  What a mighty God we serve.  It's because of His blessin...

Joy in the Face Of

Living with joy in the face of… I didn’t just wake up with joy one day.  I couldn’t feel it and I didn’t want it.  All I wanted was what my heart wanted and that’s all I could see.  The truth is, living with joy in the face of seems almost impossible, right; at least when you’re in the thick of it.  That is what I thought when this parental alienation started.  When I went from being able to speak to my children and hold them in my arms to nothing, I thought this was what would break me and snuff out my light.   But here I am, twenty-one months later, and I’m living with joy in the face of.  What I didn’t know in the beginning of it all was that the pain I felt combined with the joy I would soon allow to consume me, would work together in a way that even I can’t fathom just yet.  The two, would catapult my faith to a place it needed to go in order to see a perspective I couldn’t yet see.   The pain and joy working together trans...

Reflection—I’ve been on a journey through it lately.  Of moments gone, of things I wish I would have; of wondering how despite the… Reflection always teaches me something about life.  It teaches me something I may have overlooked or maybe refused to acknowledge in the face of.  It helps me to see things in a way I need to in order to clearly see. Reflecting has a funny way of showing me what is when what I’m looking at is upside down and maybe a little blurry.  Almost always pointing back to the direction of my thinking in the face of, and what I can change for what’s to come.   I’m thankful for what a little reflection can do for me.  Taking the blurry parts and making them crystal clear.  God always shows up in moments I least expect—but in moments when He knows I’ll hear him the loudest.  It’s in the middle of all the blurry parts of life, I need a little perspective.  And today, it took the dead of winter and an ice storm to ...
