Years on it still something that we all have to deal with. But God is still and always there for you as he was/ is with Macon and me and so is your friends like me and Deanne and all the rest at church. Anything we can do, just ask. Want help with your kiddos or in cleaning your house give us a call. Want prayer in person or on the phone.

What that tells me is that God is thinking enough about you to bring you to my mind so that I can talk to Him about you....

You are amazing (despite your protests), but you're not a superhero. And, I know that God understands. I don't think he expects us to be Pollyanna constantly with bluebirds sitting on our shoulders and sunshine beaming from our smile or other orifices. Think about David and the Psalms. A lot of them are him saying, "Hey, God! Where the heck are you? My life sucks right now!!!" I think God does some of his best work in me when I'm furious and thinking vengeful thoughts and just want to curl up in a ball and wallow in my comforting self-pity. So it's okay to be in a funk. <BR/><BR/>I've been reading a lot about forgiveness recently. Not on purpose, but I keep coming across it. And, the recurring theme is that forgiveness isn't a feeling. It's an action. You can say out loud or write down or just tell God that you forgive the lobotomized dolt - and you can and should say it over and over again because the hurt will keep coming up in different ways, especially because of the boys and their connection to their dad. But you may not feel it in your heart for a long time, maybe never. But that's okay, too. It's hard to accept, but it's okay. It doesn't mean that you haven't forgiven the LD. <BR/><BR/>I know that sometimes you're flooded with thoughts of vengeance and wishing bad things on the LD. (You're not alone there!) But just think about how nice you've actually been to him this past year. You've been WAY more kind and generous with him than any other person I know in your shoes - or even people who haven't been as wronged as you have. So your actions have shown heaps of forgiveness, too. <BR/><BR/>I know when you're feeling bad, it's hard to see the good. But you don't give yourself enough credit for how Godlike and Godfull you've been this past year. You have been a champion for so many other people during the same time that you've been going through hell - you've been praying for others, inspiring us through your posts, telling us you love us. That is amazing to me. You're doing an incredible job. Everyone feels inadequate as a mom, housekeeper, employee, etc. at some point and usually pretty often. But you more than anyone have the right to have a dusty TV and cluttered counters without feeling bad about it. <BR/><BR/>All of this is my super longwinded way of saying I love you, I understand, and that you are still amazing. And, I'm praying that your funk and the crazy germs that are plaguing your house will fly out the window today.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611295306171246645noreply@blogger.com
