I have been sitting here, home alone, for about 4 hours now with no t.v. (no satellite signal)...not feeling so great (achy w/ a headache) while Chad is working.
I threw myself somewhat of a 'pity party' because I was bored and didn't feel 'good enough' to do all of my school paperwork that is lying on the floor. Nowhere to go...nothing 'fun' to do...and I'm not at "HOME"...aka, East Texas!
I decided I was going to write a blog about my bordeness....until I got on my friend's blog (Emily)...which led me to another blog...which led me to another blog and before I knew it hours had passed and my shirt was soaked from tears!
I have nothing to complain about! Sure I've had my ups and downs...a great loss (my dad)...and some troubling times, but I am so blessed to have a fantastic husband, wonderful family, and healthy life.
As I read blogs of complete strangers I felt a sadness....and a connection to these people. They've lost babies, they have disabilities, they are ill, they are going through hard troubled times...BUT they have Hope....they have Faith!
I can not imagine loosing a child (miscarriage, SIDS, ...etc), I can't imagine what it's like to have a spouse with a major disability or disease.
Sure I work with children all day that have disabilities...and they warm my heart every second with their big smiles, warm hugs, and soft words...but to face the daily health challenges...I have no experience with. I can't imagine worrying about a child or spouse that might not make it through the night because of a serious condition.
I am just completely touched and humbled by these stories.
I cry, I pray, I hope for them!
Tonight I've learned that whenever I'm down...whenever I'm having a bad day...whenever things aren't going my way....I am sill SO BLESSED!
God's plans don't change....His word is FOREVER and I know that through my faith, hope, and trust in him....like all these people I've read about tonight....God's plan is what I want and need for my life....because without Him there is no hope.
Don't let God in on your plans...let yourself in on God's plans!
