Time

Time is a funny thing. It helps make hurt feel better and forgetting easier. But the passing of time also makes loneliness feel more acute, distances feel greater, and babies grow older all in the blink of an eye. Also the passing of time manages to do this all while robbing us of the youth and vibrance necessary to tolerate such consequences of said passing time. Wild.

 Time can also leave us with questions unanswered, to do lists undone, dishes and laundry mountains, buckets of regret and nothing to show for it if we aren't careful. As the one year bench mark of my newfound singality approaches Time is definitely on my mind.

 I somehow thought IF we made it through one year all would be well. Hearts would be healed and lives mended. Time has done much but we are still a work in progress. Greatfully hearts are beginning to heal, and while lives may never fully mend We ARE well. The Lord has showered is with blessings, tender mercies abound! So many precious Miracles have prevailed. My little family has truly have been watched over at every turn. We have made much progress and continue to learn and grow more with each passing day... So today-even in the face of adversity-

in this regard I am grateful for the passing of time. 

So strong!

The adversary is so strong! :( I spoke today with a very close friend who is in the throes Of separation/divorce. I hurt for her. There is so much misinformation in the world. Lucifer can make so many lifestyles appear attractive that are not in congruence with our heavenly father's will. The grass ISN'T greener on the other side. Life is hard. Mortality is NOT easy Unfortunately. I believe that because these are the latter days our families ARE under attack. The heart of our homes is suffering a terrible siege. One that is hurting and taking many of our youth as victims. In my opinion the children of divorce suffer much much more thanthe divorcing   parents:'( I believe this mostly because they have zero control on the outcome of that aspect of their lives. Why a terrible thought/feeling! To be forced to sit back and watch as your very existence disintegrates before your eyes. My prayers are with these friends tonight and always. As well as with their sweet babies whom I know they cherish and adore. God speed and may The Lord assist in the many difficult decisions ahead. 😢

Happy

Happy. Most my thoughts and feelings these days are just that- happy. I feel good. Our beautiful basement is completed! It is a huge blessing, tender mercy and miracle all wrapped up in one amazing space that we never thought inhabitable! We are so very blessed to have it! Many thanks and much gratitude to those wonderful friends ,family members , neighbors , and acquaintances (who now will be dear friends forever!) who made this distant impossible  dream a reality. The Lord truly hears and answers our prayers!
