It's not easy~

God is faithful~ always...through the good times and bad.  He is there with me on the days when I can feel his presences and when I am just barely keeping my head above the water.  Faith is something that God has been teaching me through these last four years~ it has been that long!  There are days when I wake in the morning and feel as if I am old and gray and on those days...I pray that God grants me the grace to get up and do the things I must...and sometimes it is just the ability to get through the day.  I am writing tonight just not for myself~ though this blog has been a diary/journal of sort ...but for those of you~ dear friends who are right there in the middle of the fight of your life.  When you think that you just can't take another hurt another disappointment in life~ I tell you that He cares....really He does.  I am reminded that we are going to be refined...a process that is not an easy one...a process that I have learned is uncomfortable and even very painful at times but just when I think I don't have it in me to continue believing that God has a plan; I get a glimpse of what He has in store~ I am blessed..very blessed by having had wonderful loved ones in my life...I am blessed by God giving me three special and unique children...I have been blessed by God giving me a husband who loves his family.  It has been a struggle but with every struggle God has shown me that He does care and love us and that He indeed does have a plan; though I don't see it now.  So please dear friends when you think you can't possibly keep going~ look up and release it all into His hands.  I can assure you that He is waiting there you to cast your cares...just release it all and step into his waiting arms.
