Looking at these pictures makes me smile inside….
Because the day these pictures were taken was a good day.
We went to church (it was an incredible message) and the rest of the day I enjoyed every moment of my kids and our family time.
But as the day came to a close, I began to feel the familiar tinge of a funk coming on.
And then this morning I woke up feeling like I had taken a million steps back on the anxiety train.
It’s times like this that I just want to hide away.
Hide from you and this blog and my friends and my family.
Because who wants to hear that I am ONCE AGAIN struggling?
Same broken record, different day.
But, the Lord gently reminds me that we are ALL broken in some way.
We are all struggling in something.
And if we’re not now….we’re not far away from one.
So here I am….vulnerable. 
Sharing my heart and soul, in the times of happiness and joy and especially in the moments of heartbreak and despair.
I am trying to keep the faith and hope.
Clinging to the promises and friends I know are true.
And counting every single blessing I have been given.
Especially the blessing of my husband….
who is incredibly patient, and loving and so full of mercy and grace.
How I got so incredibly lucky as to have him, I have no idea.
But I can’t wait for the day that this struggle is COMPLETELY behind me, so that I can show him just how much he means in my life.
Today is hard.
But I cling to the hope of tomorrow.
And the day after that.
And of course, it’s through your love and prayers that He provides me courage and strength.
xoxo
