Have you ever had one of 'those' people who just cannot get the hint to get out of your life? Arghhhhh. I get so frustrated some days with 'those' people. "Those" people are the ones who know the buttons to push to make your inner being explode; "those" people are the ones who whisper behind your back stating falsities about who or what you are; "those" people are the ones who have to place themselves center stage and EXPECT others to bow down to them; "Those" people!
Well, now you see my frustration. I have one or two of "them" in my life right now. I do pray for "them" and ask God to help them as He feels fit and to soften their hearts to listen to his Spirit. But in reality, I have come to pity "those" people. I look at them and see people who are trying to fill the need for Christ with things like lust, alcohol and empty words. So sad.
So today, I know I will have to deal with "those" people. Lord I ask that you help me to keep focused on YOU, no matter what is said or done. And Lord I ask that in my silence, YOU will be glorified.....

Beginnings
It has taken me a week to process all the changes our family has been through this year.
My husband loosing his career job, my son going away for four weeks to a place none of us had been and my oldest daughter heading off into the big world to go to college. All these new beginnings....they are both scary and exciting, happy and sad, heart warming and heart breaking.
In tough times, I fall on my face and cry out to my Creator. This year has been one tough time.
I have been listening though and trying to stay positive. I rejoice in the small things these days. Days where there is quiet moments of family time and laughter filling the air. Times when a good meal and great company is all you need. Times when we can escape from this ugly present world and get lost in the hopes of heaven and what His Kingdom will be like.
So, for now, I will continue to hold dear the promise that something better is coming. To hold onto the how proud I am as a mom of kids who are making great strides in not only their futures but the futures of others. That how proud I am of my husband as he continues to daily walk in faith and provide for his family. To remember that out of adversity comes strength......
