I know life sometimes brings heartaches.I have faced many througout my life.The past 6 years have brought some pretty heartcrushing moments in and of themselves.And yeah I know sometimes the road gets really hard to follow.But in it all I know God has never left my side and I will not lose my love for Him or what He has done in my life.Just as I have faced trials I have also seen blessings  flow from His hands .
Have I felt down at times?Ohhh YEAH!! There have been times I have bawled my eyes out and felt like the world was crushing the very breath outta me.But thats the time I dig in deeper and trust the Lord to breath thru me new passion for Him and for others who are hurting..Its in those times He preforms CPR( cardio prayer rebound) on my poor heart.Im reminded that His word is always true and never fails and that  God can use my heartache to paint a beautiful breakthru for His plan!His word says He works ALL things together for our good. This means even the skunk fart moments that seem to overwhelm ya with the stench it leaves .God is able to turn it  around into something amazingly incredible if we just trust Him too..
I know it says the joy of the Lord is our strength. So i try to  focus on the good things in life , sometimes thats harder than others .As my birthday  and the holidays approach I find myself seriously missing my oldest daughters and praying fervently  to have them come back to live with us. It seems that has been such a long hard haul , but I still trust that God will move even though it seems hopeless.I just know that we have to be faithful to Gods word to praise Him in ALL things.Now am I saying that  when your little one tosses his cookies on the cat that you say thank you Lord for that .Heck now thats just eww , but you can praise Him that your other child isnt ill with the same bug , or that it wasnt in a publicly odd place or on an in law or friend.or maybe find joy in that extra snuggle time  you get with that little one .There is always something , somewhere in your day that you can find to be thankful for even if you have to look hard for it .Dont give up , dont back down , and dont forget to stand and know that He is God of all and He will see you thru this heartache too( if you ask Him too) .
