Ya know, life really is a funny thing. For almost 15 years I have been focused on my husband and kids and still am, don't get me wrong. I have been told that I care too much, that I smother them and that I need to let them do things on their own and I am controlling. I will not apologize for caring. Now, you don't care when you just stick your nose in and try to make sure they do what you want them to do and not care what the outcome is when they don't. I follow through and accept the outcome, whatever it is. Now I'm not saying that it has not been a struggle, but it has not been as bad as most. I know I am truly blessed to have my family and will always be grateful. There are a lot of people out there that feel since they are not happy and that they did not get the life they deserve due to abuse or hardship that no one else should have it too. Well, ya got another thing coming. People, you don't expect it. You need to be content with what you have and make the most of it to be happy. You are a good person, no matter what you have done. We are created in God's image. And I have never seen any evil in that. You have got think that there are a lot of people out there that just give up because maybe they don't think they are worthy of forgiveness or even think they can turn their lives around. No, they are just lazy or misinformed. There is always a solution. It may not be the one that they want, but there is always a way to FIX things. Broken or unbroken. Now, I do not know it all, but I do know that I love having my family and what friends we have left due to recover/rehab issues. You really need to stop and think: What has God given me that I have put away and not looked at or used in a while? Well, it may be your conscience, your pride, your boldness, your sense of humor or whatever you had or thought you had or even thought you might have. You never know. Stop and think and let contentment or even adventure unfold and see where it takes you. Right now I am sewing up a friends pants and looking through my sewing box. I have found a dozen or more of projects I put away to sew up later. I am breaking it out and granted, I will not do them all today, but it makes me think, what have I put away that I have forgotten about? Now I am not talking about all of the physical things either. Someone out there is struggling with drugs, abuse, neglect, and numerous other things out there. Let God restore all of your gifts. It will not happen overnight, but it will happen if you stay positive and keep your eyes on God. He knows what is best for you. Thanks for listening. I am full of contentment and joy even though Tommy is incarcerated and my face prison/rehab. I am happy he is and will get the help he needs and I am in recovery myself and we talk about it over the phone. He knows and he accepts. We pray together and pray for each other. I love him and he loves us. We will get through this and keep going. There isn't any other way for us.
God Bless Y'all!!!
