This last week has been really rough for me. I have faced disappointment after disappointment topped with bad nights of sleep with a little one who is sick with a cold. My husband has been far away for days and unavailable most of the time to even talk. I have struggled this week with self pity and letting myself get depressed.
These are the times that I really need to look up! These are the times that I need to let my heart sing praises to God so that in the midst of my small trials I can see our big God and the big plan He has for the world, which is so much bigger than me! It's when I focus on a God so magnificant that I can say who cares about the things of this week. This week and all it entails will pass, but the immeasurable love of a Savior that some of the world has not yet felt, is forever. There is too much for us to do in life, on behalf of God for people, to be focused inward. Tonight I'm reminding myself of this truth so I won't let the temporary things of the world take my joy, my hope, my purpose. Tonight I will look up until I see nothing but You!

Oh, Rhea, hang in there! I wish you lived closer so we could come over and help. Is everything OK with the baby? This too shall pass! Good for you for trying to refocus and find hope. Love ya!
Thanks for the reminder Rheada I needed that. I am in the same place of dealing with dissapoinment, loneliness fear etc... I will pray for you when I have those feelings.
Well said Rheada, a reminder I need too. I will keep you in my prayers for a little relief and joy to lighten your mood. Hugs to you...
P.S... it is HOT here. I whined all day. Enjoy your beautiful weather!
