Leaning on Him

  Today I find myself, I guess you could say a little blue.  You see over the past couple of years I have watched most of my precious close friendships fade to mostly acquaintances, and it has become overwhelmingly sad for me.  God reminded me this morning in His subtle way, that no matter how many or how few earthly friends I have, He is the one I should ALWAYS lean on for support.  That realization has brought me much comfort.  I still mourn these friendships, but I know that the Lord has different ones in store for me in the future, I only need be patient and focus my energies on my relationship with him rather than dwelling on what I can not change.  After all, my relationship with Him is the most important relationship I can have, a long with that of my hubs:-)  I love all the ladies in my life, no matter the disconnect, and will always cherish the friendships, and thank God daily for the past, present, and future friends He has as will put in life.  Having the time to sit down and type this out, has in a way given me some much needed closer, and most importantly, reminded me that my relationship with God has as well been fading, and it is up to me to fix that!

I am so thankful to have my babies home for the summer, and it chokes me up every time I think about school starting again and them leaving me once again. Selfish I know.  I have challenged myself to do more than just chores and sitting at home with them though. They deserve to have an active mom, who wants to spend time with them having fun:-)  We have had some play dates, and sleep overs, and they definitely want to do more.  Some zoo trips have happened, and more are planned.  And a special 10th birthday vacation will be happening in the very near future for one very special little (oops, big) girl and her momma:-)

My hubs and I have been blessed with some much needed dates here and there, but it never seems like we get to often enough.  We have a on going joke about our most common date being one to TSC (tractor supply co, for those you who didn't know:-).  It seems as though every time he needs to go pick up something there, weekly at best, we end up going together.  You know, it's actually been nice to spend any time we can together, even if it is to TSC.  Don't we lead such glamorous lives? ;-)

Even though I started this day in a funk, I am counting my many blessings one at a time, to ensure that I don't overwhelm myself with what worries my heart.  God and my precious family is what holds this girl together!  Enough said.

Don't waste valuable time fretting about what you can not change, but focus on what you can and all the blessings God has given you.

Blessings
