Be still and know that I am here.....

This weekend was a long one for me, and by long, I don't mean extended. I spent a lot of time alone. The kids were at their dad's house, so it was quiet here. Most of us have been at that point of needing some quiet, but this weekend for me was almost too quiet. On Saturday, I didn't leave my house at all. I spent a lot of time resting, due to pain issues with my back. And even more time was spent reflecting over this past year. I easily could have slipped into a state of despair or depression, and believe me when I say I was close. Life has been hard this past year, as we have faced many difficult changes. I went from being married to my high school sweetheart, to facing the long hard journey of divorce. It hasn't been an easy road to travel. And in fact was not a choice I made. But that being said, it is still a reality. This, on top of raising 4 beautiful children that God has entrusted me with, has made life even more difficult. Life is HARD! And sometimes it gets me down.....but God is constantly there. He surrounds me with what I need to make it through each hard bump in the road, and for this I am thankful. He has supplied every need, whether it be the food we eat, the clothes we wear, or the friends that step into our path, at just the right moment. Life is hard, but God is good!


Take a look at the lyrics to this song.....it basically says it all...

And the Emmy goes to........

Recently I was given a blog award! I absolutely loved it and want to pass it on to those I feel worthy of its glory, however, I am writing this post from my Droid, and still haven't quite figured out how to add some of the gadgets from here. Why from the Droid you ask????? Because, though I might be able to write a decent story every now and then, rehooking up the electronics in the house isn't my forté. Lol! Just one of those many things I am still grasping knowledge on. That being said, I would like to formally thank my dear friend Sherilin for this great award! I feel blessed! Sooo not prepared! I don't even have a speech ready! :-D

By the way, did you notice the accent mark on the e in forté??? Yep! Just one of the few technological actions I have learned! Woohoo! Anyway, thanks for reading my blog.....I hope in some way it either helps make you laugh, or at least doesn't bore you to death......
