Life...

Okay, so life is not what you expected it to be.
Maybe its not even something you can stand to face.
But, with God's help, it can be live-able.
You can even get to the place where you like your new you.
This past year was nothing I ever expected I would deal with.
Nothing I would have ever wanted to face.
I really wanted to just stop facing it.
But God knew that it would be that hard for me.
So He had already given me two angels who would need me to daily get out of bed.
And He knew exactly what friends I would need in my life to keep me motivated and surrounded with love.
He gave me the strength to start over and begin to embrace the changes.
And He KNOWS how much I hate change.
And gradually, day by day, He is helping me to look for the positives and keep handing Him the negatives, which He is more than willing to carry for me.
And today, despite all the pain and betrayals of the last year, I stood in my garage bawling with thankfulness.  Broken heart, yes. 
But thankfulness that I have a house for these girls (with a very understanding landlord) where we can make our own joy and laughter despite the pain.
And thankfulness for a library that can find all the books for me, when I ask, to encourage and build me back up.
And He is ALWAYS there for me.
And that makes this new and different life one that I am glad I am still in...with Him.
