Everything can be just fine, but I can find the dish with petrified oatmeal on it, and suddenly out come the "poor me"s! <br />And do I really think my Father doesn't care? <br />Thank you for your words today.CindyChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11465925613716349619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067437345204040435.post-62296312650305456862010-11-10T01:08:04.524-06:002010-11-10T01:08:04.524-06:00Heavens to Betsy.

I had a very painful first marriage (we did not have children) and I can identify with so many of the emotions you are feeling. The thing is, you ARE strong. Even strong people are allowed to cry, yell, be angry. Just because you do those things doesn't mean you aren't strong. You're normal. You choose to get up each day. You choose to be with your child. You choose to do good by him/her. You choose God. Now THAT'S strong.<br /><br />Enjoyed your writing - you are great. SO good to meet you this week!Natalie at Mommy on Firehttp://www.mommyonfire.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067437345204040435.post-6323273923619960882010-11-09T14:59:02.297-06:002010-11-09T14:59:02.297-06:00michelle - it's interesting how we believe the...michelle - it's interesting how we believe the lies so quickly before we believe truth. thanks for your encouragement and for stopping by!<br /><br />katharine - we're all on this journey together, aren't we? i'm so thankful for a sisterhood of women like you who say "me too!" it's so encouraging!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10426204374410735670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067437345204040435.post-12208942801511247282010-11-09T14:47:37.035-06:002010-11-09T14:47:37.035-06:00Thank you for the honesty-I think it strikes a cho...Thank you for the honesty-I think it strikes a chord because we see ourselves in your words.

So, sometime soon, I will allow myself to feel it and then, as a breath, I will breath it out to my Father, who wishes to feed me good things.<br /><br />So glad you linked up today!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14701362919026534336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067437345204040435.post-15163236685051761112010-11-09T12:36:13.665-06:002010-11-09T12:36:13.665-06:00This 'sisterhood' is tearing me up, becaus...This 'sisterhood' is tearing me up, because so many of these posts hit me smack in the face... in a good way, of course. I have been known to throw quite the pity party too, but I'm learning to let God have it as quickly as I start to feel it. Some days I still soak in it for a while, but remembering the times when he's carried me out of the pit becomes easier... Thanks so much for your honesty today!Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05640042620170128052noreply@blogger.com
