24 Emotional? Who's Emotional??

I am an emotional person, God made me that way.....so I run on emotions, sometimes...well a lot!  Smile

I cry in sad movies, when I hear a sad or a joyful story, when I am deeply moved, when I sing about the Name of Jesus, or just speaking His Name can bring tears.

Actually the most beautiful, wonderful part of my life--when I look back--are the ups and downs of my actual life.  (Not saying they were beautiful as we 'trudged thru the sludge'.  Smile)

We (my siblings and I) had a pretty normal childhood...to some degree.  My Dad was a hard, abusive man, which helped me determine what I was NOT going to be like when I became a parent.

One day, Greg, you said to me, (something like this),"Mom, you are amazing", to which I replied, "Oh, my, why would you say that?"  

He talked about all the negative things that had happened, including Andy's death, how I had married an abusive man like my Dad, gone thru it all and have come out on the other side, a stronger person.  What I think is so amazing is, even tho' it seemed like a lot, in reflection, I did not feel that I had gone through anything that other people had not gone through also.  

So if Grace and Forgiveness have covered my entire life....isn't that a REAL MIRACLE?  I actually feel like it was 'no big deal.'

The phrase 'God does not take you out of your troubles, but He takes you 'thru' them...isn't too exciting at this point in your life, and in mine as well.   We're walking, we're sludging, we're trusting, we are also trying to fix something we cannot fix.  Just keep walking, just keep trusting, just keep seeking, just keep asking.  This last THING that the devil threw at you... cellulitis....??????????

I tell people that this Blog is for your benefit, Greg, and it is...however as I think you have already guessed, God is helping me walk thru, work thru many issues that I haven't  thoroughly worked thru before...maybe partially, maybe not at all...so this is good for me, and good for you, I hope...tho' you are constantly in the battle...I am--we are--holding up your hands that you cannot possibly hold up by yourself...and tho' as I wrote last time, the 'Body' doesn't seem to be stepping up to the plate...do you know how many people love you and care, and are praying for you???

Just a few days ago, when I put another plea for prayer (on f.b.)-- remember little Linda from New Life?  She responded that at just that time God had told her to pray for you......pretty special?

So with that, Look up, Hang on, don't let go!!!!

We'll see you here there or in the air!!   

(And that's the truth....*pluuh!*)    

Couldn't really spell that!!

Cray, the answer is secret!

Nanny, Marker, Mom etc...etc...  

(I can hardly see where I covered emotions, at all.......but I am emotional!!)
