Well today I am officially finished with feeling sorry for myself and for my angry feelings with my brother who cannot possibly ever help me with our Mom.
I had been feeling down in the dumps lately, mostly related to my not graduating on the 11th after 4 long years of college, and financial reasons that I shall not disclose, we are INCREDIBLY in debt. So many things to be distraught over......
But this past week, we had a church revival. I feel revived!
Not that I won't ever again have feelings of loss or of being used, or of disappointment. But from now on, I intend to ask the Lord for the blessings He has in store for me, each and every day. We need to ask to receive, and I shall. I have discovered that when I spend time in prayer and thoughtfulness first thing in the morning, but even throughout the day, that my day turns out to be a blessing, with little in the way of my happiness. Things are smooth with the children, and daily events with Mom are not such a strain.
Yes, we are still going to have our finincial worries and there will always be times of stress, but with the Lord Jesus Christ, on Whom we can always depend, gives us daily doses of strength and patience, dosed strongly with perseverence.
Thank you God for loving me! And thank You God for my children and my Mom.....make me a stronger person in faith and in life so I can be the caregiver that You intended me to be.
The Lord will not put you through anything that you cannot handle through Him!! Trust in His plan!

I totally understand! I use prayer so much to get through it all with dad. Not to say there won't be hard days, but it does help things go smoother.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry things have been rough. But I'm really glad that you are feeling better!
