When it rains it pours....Really? Yes, we all have situations we would rather not deal with. I am heartbroken when I see a friend that is hurting, or even worse my babies. The last year, has been a Noah's Ark year. But guess what. I have been closer to God more than ever. I have sobbed thinking" Does God make my son sick, so I will be closer to him?" " Is God "punishing" him so I will grow in my faith" A bit selfish to think that I am that important to God that he would have to punish my son with an illness for me. But, maybe that was the only way I would listen. God doesn't punish. I have to see the good in the trials my son is going through. The only rationalization I can make is that it's happening so I will be stronger in my faith.
It could be worse? Yes it could!!!!! I know this. I thank God everyday that its not. That we somewhat have an idea of what might be happening. My son could have something very terrible ( i don't want to even type it) But, when our family goes through his illness, its hard to see WORSE. So if someone says to you "It could be worse" Give them credit for what they are going through NOW. We don't want it to get worse. God's gives us warnings. Wake up calls. To be in his light. So if it does get worse. He will walk it with us.
On to superficial stuff... I grew up in a town of about 2400. This past weekend was a little fair for the town. Seems like if you were conceived in said town, you have to come back to the fair. So, my hubby, and 3 little ones oblige. The kids LOVED the rides ( only safe ones, i wouldn't let them ride the roller coaster HAVE YOU SEEN THOSE KIDS NECKS WHIP IN THOSE BAD BOYS) Anyway, my three talented children were skilled enough to win 5 goldfish. Unfortunately, we are down to three. My baby girl says " Wha Waaaaaa" When she sees one dead.
Are you still friends with people you knew in high school? My husband and I graduated from the same school. I never talk to any one anymore. But he greets them like they are his long lost friends. I saw so many of my closest friends from high school...but we didn't even acknowledge each other. I didn't feel the need to because, frankly they were crappy friends. Very fake. I swear I wasn't. I don't have much of a poker face.
I know my BFF AWAG totally keeps all of her friends. But maybe she can take more crap than I can. I just couldn't. It is hands down the right thing to do...be nice to others/ see God in them. But man oh man. It pretty hard to see God in some of those girls who NEVA had my back. Not that I am reliving high school :)
Maybe it's different for boys.I will chalk it up to that.
Work is sucking wind. Kind of hard to do anything with the impending trip to Mayo for my Big Boy next week. God has plans... God has plans.. I will keep telling myself this :) PEACE.
