Life can be so crazy, wonderful, terrifying, and unpredictable.
Just when you think things are great….wham!
I started this blog a few years ago because I was in a great place in life and thought it would be fun to write about life and maybe a few insights that I have. I’ve had a hard time knowing how to get started and have been great at procrastinating.
And now I am a few years older and life has thrown me a few more curve balls.
My forties had ups and downs but more ups than downs. It was a great decade.
My fifties have been more of a struggle–health struggles, relationship struggles.
As a young person, all I wanted to do was be a successful wife and mom. After all these years it did feel like I had reached those goals. I was grateful to God and praised Him for everything…but pride crept in and God needed to deal with me. God’s discipline is always right on time but it sure is not fun!
I have been humbled. I have mourned; I still mourn what I have lost in this season. I feel humble about what God needed to do to get my attention. In my mourning I am drawing closer to God. I am hanging on to Him for peace, comfort, and hope.
There is always hope when you’re looking to Jesus.
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11
God bless!
