Okay, I have had enough
SO far this year...
My doggy died
My Mommy died
My Nana is dieing and I had to put her in a home
My Mom in Law had a brush with possible heart problems
My home has been broken into, while we were in it
My car has been hit by a hit and run driver
I won't even go into the vehicle repair problems we have had this year.
Or my mental health problems.
I am telling you, I have had it. I am DONE.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, where are the blessings?
Lets see if I can find some.
My Mom didn't have to suffer for long
I got to spend some quality time with my brother
I was left a sum of money that helped carry us through
My husband was able to earn a considerable amount of money at his job
We chose to homeschool our children
I finally signed up for college
My Nana is safe and cared for PROPERLY
Her son is forced to do some of his responsibilities
My MIL found out she is healthy as a horse
I have an incredible group of friends that I wouldn't leave
I inherited 3 new dogs to love
I was awakened to the VALUE of my life
I was able to find the courage to quit my part time job
I am LEANING on the Lord
HE has my attention again.

Now is the time to lean on HIM. He has brought you here and now if you trust in HIM he can bring you through it. Make no mistake about this, it is no accident or punishment....it has happened for a reason. You need to SEE that HE wants you to NEED HIM. Not just in a time of saddness or weakness, but ALWAYS. You have it in your head that you must shoulder ALL of this. You do not have to do that. HE will lift your yoke, remember? But it takes TRUST, DISCIPLINE and everything else you struggle with. But the reward is too great to pass up. TRUST ME. I am praying for you.
Though the specifics are different, I do understand that overwhelming feeling of being hit with so much so fast. Thank God we can still see the blessings through the hard times. I know God is making you stronger and His ways are perfect whether the heartaches make sense to us at the time or not. As always you're in my thoughts and prayers. I love you.
