Thankful...

I now understand how you can be thankful for tribulation. These last few weeks I've become more and more thankful for this experience because it has brought me so much closer to God then I've ever been. It's taught me a lot about myself that I didn't want to admit to, or be willing to see, before. It's taught me how truly powerful God is in our lives, even in the everyday part of life. I wouldn't want to wish on any spouse/child what has happened to us because it is hard! But in the end life is going to be sweeter for it. The joy in tribulation. There's one that will never leave us and never forsake us and I surely don't want to leave Him or forsake Him! We can come out of an experience hard or soft, it just depends how much we allow God to be in the experience... something to that affect was written on facebook yesterday... and it's so very true. Here's hoping my husband figures out the true meaning of life before it's too late for him!

Another mile stone past... few more to go

We made it past Mother's Day fairly well. My girls were great! Christina made me a very sweet Mother's Day card and breakfast and the girls took me out to dinner with Erika and Blake paying. This one had to be hard for Dave's mom. Next month is going to be the hard one for me. My birthday and Father's Day are within days of each other. I know we'll get through it, it may just be tough. I'm just so thankful for the strength that comes from my Father. I'm truly okay. Thanks to forgiveness the tension is pretty much gone and thanks to prayer it's easier to accept what has happened and just allow it to make me stronger spiritually and actually feel some thankfulness for the experience in that it's brought me so much closer to my Father. I know we have a ways to go before the experience is over, there's still just too many unknowns but if I can hold on to my faith then we'll be okay. Now if I could get a few more bookkeeping clients!
