Journal Entry for February 24, 2008 Mood

Sunday, February 24, 2008

I decided not to go to the pampered chef party. AF is really bad and I think the more I am up and about the worse it gets. This is 4 months worth so if she gets mad at me she will just have to get mad. Plus my mouth is still swollen, I have a chipmunk cheek lol. I will tell her I will buy something from her party when I talk to her today. I didnt say anything to dh about last night. He really never does go out anywhere besides bowling on Sat. nights so I just let it be. I was inconvenienced but it worked out in the end because Jordan fell asleep and I was able to start doing what I needed to get done before Brandon got home. Now if he would have stayed all night we would have been fighting lol. I'm not saying what he did was right though. I just didnt feel like fighting at that moment. I hope everyone has a peaceful restful sunday..I luv u all. I am going to leave a couple short insprirational stories out of the book Beyond the Sorrow

Sunrise to Sunset

Just over a year ago I lost my youngest son to a tragic accident. He was the light and laughter of our lives. At first I was very angry at God for taking my son away from me. I felt that He had taken Garrett away, and I thought I would never have joy or happiness in my life. Then things changed slowly and I realized that God had given me a way to be with my son again. By accepting Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, I will be reunited with Garrett as he had accepted Jesus as his Savior just one year before he died. I used to look at each passing day as another day without him. Now through my faith in God and His promise of eternal life, I thank Him for each sunrise and each sunset, because I know that it brings me one day closer to home with God and Garrett.

Soar Like Eagles

I had suddenly become a young widow, a single mom, and had moved a new community. God's grace was sufficient as He planted us to make a difference in the lives of others who hurt. My life is blessed because of God's love to help work through the grief and to help others on this journey. Recently, I learned eagles don't fly around the storm; they fly through it, creating a vision of splendor when they arrive. We must go through the storm. God's love is sufficient to have a purpose as we endure the storms of life. We were meant to soar like the eagle..

She shouldn't be made. I don't blame you for not going, you had plenty of reasons not too. I wouldn't worry about it. Hope you feel better soon.

I hope she isn't mad; AF has put you through the wringer this time and with Jordan, you can't just up and go like you used to. Hopefully, she'll be ok with it. I'm glad Jordan was able to sleep for you last night so you could get some stuff done around the house. Phew...saved the baby sleeper!

I totally would not go either. Too much, baby, period of 4 months backup and swollen mouth. Who would ever expect you to go. She wont be mad if she is then perhaps its more about her than you. I love the devotions especially about the eagle. It is true there is no way around,over under we just must go through it. With Gods guidance and love,we can push through the fear and soar like the eagles do! Hugs, Kate

You were right not to go - you have to do what's best for you and yours...and it was only a party...with other people going. Not as if she needed you there cos she was at her wits end! Hope your mouth settles soon. x
