The F Word...

The ultimate statement... "It's not fair"-- the F word is not what you were thinking is it? What kind of mind do ya'll have?!!! lol

I KNOW you've said this statement before-- I know I have... & recently too... oops.

It's like... grrrrr--- when does it EVER end?!!! IT'S NOT FAIR!!! Everything down to money, job, life at home, gas prices... etc etc etc!!!

Is it too hard to trust that everything will be okay? Is it too hard to roll through the punches? Is it too hard to walk through the valley? These things can be hard-- getting "beat up" by the waves. However, these things are a tiny bit easier when we are doing these things with God. You see, these hard, "not Fair" times will come and they will go, but one thing last forever-- that's God. 

There is a poem called Footprints-- this poem has helped me SOOOO much throughout the years and I want to share it with ya'll.

I just love reading this... whenever I'm going through a hard time-- it comforts me to know God has me-- no matter how small the situation or how big it is. Whenever I feel "it's not fair" or "it's too hard" I know that He gives me His special supernatural strength!!!

Remember that God doesn't always give us what WE think WE need-- He gives us what HE KNOWS WE NEED exactly when we need it. So do not be discouraged-- He's carrying you- 

Take care of you :)

**so sorry about not posting for a few days!! Our internet can be so stinky sometimes- on top of me not feeling good-- not a good mixture!! SORRY!!!! :( ** 

Hard Times... OH POOP

These are the times that you wish that would just GO AWAY and STAY AWAY-- It's really hard to go through and experience these nasty days. Only one moment can set it off-- and BOOM!! There it goes..... kaplunk.

It's really difficult to know that you bust your butt working day in and day out- and all you ask at the end of the week that the bills are paid and the family is taken care of. Well, it's really hard when that hard, long, long work week comes to an end and you find out the bills are paid-- but how much is leftover? Yes, the bills are paid PRAISE GOD- and then it comes to getting the things you need for the week... ummmm food? With me at home-- it's easy... $10 bucks and I'm okay (enough to get salad and veggies & then I can eat on stuff at the house) Andy on the other end... he's out on that long hot road daily eating what he can-- but when you go to the store and get a pack of water, canned items, tuna, crackers, snacks... the $$ adds up. It's so hard-- we gotta get those bills paid and get my meds and my acupuncture... things that are super important... but they are swallowing us!!! OH MAN I AM READY FOR A BREATHE please GOD save us!!!

I lay all that ground work to say something that bothers me from time to time-- I know Im not the only one... When I think about not feeling good, or being sick, or whatever--- it makes me think about my past. Having Leukemia & a Bone Marrow Transplant {okay that is a blog in itself for later :)} and being sick all those years... makes me so upset sometimes. I feel like something is ALWAYS wrong-- it's so annoying- I guess if I took more care and payed more attention to health and myself I could prevent all this CRAP-- GRRRRR!!!!

But then- just then... I have a bright light turned on-- all of my suffering- all of my pain-- God is with me. ALWAYS wit me-- always plowing the way-- always providing for us-- no matter what the circumstances look like-- He WILL COME THROUGH.

It's so difficult sometimes to see the silver lining isn't it? So HARD-- and it doesn't always work out as we want it to either-- and THAT itself is hard.

So---

• Thank God in all circumstances
• Ask Him for help and guidance 
• EXPECT Him to help you, uphold you, and give you HIS SUPERNATURAL strength
• Remember that not everyday is a good day-- but you can choose to have a good day
• Think positive and keep moving forward

Hope this helped someone!! lol

Take care of you :)
