What to say...

Not all blogs are filled with funny quips and moments filled with laughter. Some times they are bittersweet and difficult. I want so much to protect my family from hurts. Hurts we've all been through... disappointment in life, an unexpected move, the unknown reasoning for the demise of a friendship. Sometimes our disappointments are self-inflicted. Other times its just the way life happens. An unexpected move from the familiar to the unknown is always hard - regardless of your age - just ask one who has gone from a life of independence to the care home. I don't know what's worse - the sadness that comes from the end of a friendship or the torture of a new friendship rubbed in your face by your apparent replacement. Sometimes life is just hard. Difficult. But God, my friend, is always good. Self-inflicted disappointments can easily be remedied by viewing yourself the way God does: loved, forgiven, precious. There is nothing unexpected to God. He knew change was coming and knows it will make you stronger... remember to lean on the One who never changes. The calm in the storm - the place of safety - the friend that sticks closer than a brother... Jesus.
