Little Lessons

Since graduating from college three and a half years ago I have found that life doesn't go as planned.  Believe me, I made a lot of plans.  To say that a lot has happened since then would be a gross understatement.  Just like I have found that life happens, I have found that God happens.  I mean that God is always there.  I am not saying life is perfect, watching your mother and mother-in-law battle cancer and losing a baby to miscarriage is heart breaking to say the least, but I am here to say that God is sustaining.  There have been times when things have seemed so hopeless they left a wound in my soul that was open and raw to the elements of life.  God is a band-aid for those wounds.  His word is my neosporin, healing my heart quicker than I would have thought possible. 

My mothers, because am close to both my mother and mother-in-law, are now in remission.  I also have two children I adore and a husband who loves me.  My life is really good right now, but much of it is because I have made a promise to God.  To be joyful in the times of heartache, and praise him even when it is hard to find things in my life to praise.  This blog is my journey of how I struggle with finacial hardship, battle with feelings of injustice, work to raise my children in a Godly home though this world is so ungodly, and persevere to finish this race called life for my King.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
