Faith

"It isn’t as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don’t worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. If you do your best, it will all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. … If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers." - Gordon B. Hinckley. I needed this today!

Sometimes you just need to cry...

I have done that a lot lately, sometimes I feel like my heart is so broken that I don't think it will ever mend. I am sad and there is no other way to say it. Tonight I came across a song from Hilary Weeks that I think sums it up best (check out youtube and hear her sing it - AMAZING!!!).

Just let Me cry.

I believe that everything happens for a reason.
We’re not just tossed by the wind,
or left in the hands of fate.
But sometimes life sends a storm that’s unexpected.
And we’re forced to face our deepest pain.
When I feel the heartache begin to pull me under...
I dig my heels in deep,
and I fight to keep my ground.
Still, at times the hurt inside grows stronger.
And there’s nothing I can do but let out...

Just let me cry.
I know it’s hard to see.
But the pain I feel isn’t going away today.
Just let me cry.
Till every tear has fallen.
Don’t ask when...
and don’t ask why.
Just let me cry.

When I agreed that God could put this heart inside me.
I understood that there would be a chance that it would break.
But I know He knows exactly how I’m feeling...
And I know in time He’ll take the pain away.

But for now...
Just let me cry.
I know it’s hard to see.
But the pain I feel isn’t going away today.

Just let me cry.
Till every tear has fallen.
Don’t ask when...
and don’t ask why.
Just let me cry.

I have felt joy,
the kind that makes my heart want to sing.
And so my tears are not a surrender,
I’ll feel that way again.

But for now...
For this moment...
Just let me cry.

I know it’s hard to see.
But the pain I feel.
Isn’t going away today.
Just let me cry.

Till every tear has fallen.
Don’t ask when...
and don’t ask why.
Just let me cry.

So, I know that it is ok to cry, I know that it is ok to be sad, I know that is ok to not be strong all the time that life is hard and that trials are a part of our own journey...but I also know that our Heavenly Father loves us he is there listening and understands what is in every tear that falls. This life is a test.....Faith in God includes faith in His timing.

Piglet "how do you spell love?"
Pooh "you don't spell it you feel it."

I am so thankful I feel love everyday!

Just one of those days.....

God,
Here is my heart.
It's broken.
Can you fix it?
Please hold it until it's all better.

They say the first step is always the hardest....can someone please give me a shove?

Hard times....

The last few months we have been on an emotional roller coaster that I REALLY want to get off of, and if you know me I LOVE roller coasters so it must be bad to want to get off of. A lot of tears have been shed, sleepless nights, a LOT of hugs and kisses and some great family and friends that we have been able to talk to and have helped us with our trials.

Last night Johns and I were talking and he made the comment that we picked our trials, WOW what were we thinking? Hello, can I have a do over? Please?.....then tonight I was playing around on the Internet and found the following quote "even with all the many tears and pain that I have encountered there is always someone that is going through something more challenging." What a true statement that I really need to stop and think about when I am going through my trials. I am so blessed for so many things but especially so thankful that I have Dwayne by my side, he is my rock!!!!

God has a plan for each of us and sometimes we have to learn patience to see how this plan is going to unfold.
