Sometimes I...
...feel as though the world is moving SO fast. And here I am. Feet glued to the ground.
...wish God would breathe his peace & reassurance into my weary soul.
...wonder why most of this life has been an uphill, tooth-and-nail, have-no-mercy battle against adversity.
... feel as though God is grooming me, training me, for a cause and reason bigger than anything I could have ever imagined.
... think I could fall down in tears or laughter at any given moment.
... think that my shoulders can't possibly be strong enough for the responsibility that God has laid upon them.
...wonder who I might be today had I not found my faith.
...consider that I might not be living up to the high expectations that everyone around me seems to have.
...feel that I should confess that I'm not half the woman my mother is. She is the epitomy of strength.
...should just say what's on my mind and stop trying to be kind to the people who aren't kind to me.
... know in my heart that no matter what I might say, feel, or think---I'm probably wrong to a small majority. And that's ok.
...need to make a point of reminding myself that the 10% of people in my life with nothing good to say are in the minority for a reason.
...need to remember to stay the course, trust in Jesus, dig deep, and never forget what got our family to this point in our lives: God, friends, family, and most importantly, eachother.
...marvel at the quality and caliber of the wonderful people God has placed in our life to support us.
... feel as though we are the most richly blessed people in the world.
... think that I just need to get it out. Which is what I just did.
Thank you. :)

“Lord, we ask for your healing Hand to be laid upon our son Colton’s body today and always. We ask that you restore his Earthly body to be strong, healthy, and cancer free. Lord, ease his worry, pain, and above all, let Cole’s heart and soul be focused in the light and Word of Jesus Christ. I ask this is Jesus’ name. Amen.”

Thinfluenced is the true life story of one relentlessly strong Wisconsin woman and her personal battle through her young son's cancer diagnosis and subsequent relapse, her fight to regain control of her weight, health, and happiness, and of her never ending passion for sweating her way back to life...

You have friends...Peace
You are SO much stronger than you give yourself credit for. I'm sure you are Colton's rock.
I can't imagine the strength it takes to stay strong for your son's sake. But then...it is Christ in us and not we ourselves that is the source of the kind of strength that allows us to face each day with peace and joy. Hang in there. You are not alone.
I can't imagine being in your position - you vent anytime you need to! And well said... all of it :)
