A story about me
I recently relocated and I was challenged by the entire experience. With a young family and marriage of 11 years, I was really thinking that I had reached a cross roads, what was I to do. I didn’t fully support the move, I was trying to do what was best for the kids, I was angry with my husband and I wasn’t happy about the person I was becoming. Well…the mirror is a powerful tool. I believe we are defined by how we handle challenges and adversity – not by the situation itself. I have spent recent weeks realizing how precious God is. It is amazing to me that life can be so filled with stuff that we lose sight of all that we have and everything amazing. I did have to move, we do own two mortgages, our stress levels are high -but we are here. We love each other. Our children are healthy, beautiful and bright. We wake up everyday with another opportunity to get it fully right. God has given us grace and has put His arms around us – even when we have missed the mark. Isn’t it amazing and isn’t it wonderful that we get the chance to change lives, touch people and impact our world. I have no dining room furniture – but I have a beautiful view. The chairs to the kitchen set have outlived their nine lives – but we manage to have dinner and fun each night. My husband hung curtains and sheers and curtain ties – just because it was important to me. So what – life isn’t perfect. Isn’t it nice to be able to look at the view and realize – there is a lot of good here.
