may I be REAL honest with you?
This morning
I’m weary.
Very weary.
can you relate?
the demands of LIFE
gripped me today
in such a way
I found it hard to breathe
and it almost got the best of me
for a moment
I thought of screaming out loud
driving somewhere?
making a list?
calling someone: mother? sister? friend?
what would I say???
I could barely breath
much less talk
so
standing over my sink
looking out over the pasture
tears began to fall
I began to cry
and that’s okay
THANKFULLY
the rascals were in the living room
because the cry got U.G.L.Y
and that’s okay
because
Life is Tough
transition is hard
learning new things is trickier with age
establishing new routines..YIKES
juggling marriage
parenthood, sisterhood, friendships and MORE
can be OVERWHELMING
but…
GOD is faithful.
so
after my GOOD, UGLY cry
I sat down and had a chat with the ONE who LOVES me unconditionally
never disappoints
is never too busy
always on time
cares and WANTS to hear from me
and you know what??
when our chat was over
I had heard from HIM
through HIS WORD
“Your promise revives me; it comforts me in all my troubles.” Psalm 119:50
the tears stopped
the grip loosened
and before I knew it
I was calm
and at peace
in the midst of the storm.
