GETTING BETTER ALL THE TIME

Hi All! I can't tell you enough how much appreciate all the love and support I have received from all of you as I travel this very bumpy road. Life has been hard these last two months, but each day things get a little bit easier. I am focusing on my children right now as my son will graduate high school this year, and I want him to remember all the good things about this year, and not what is happening right now. So, I am neck deep in prom plans, graduation night, his 18th birthday, and plans for his future. My daughter is struggling and we are at odds a lot, but I am confident that with the passing of time, she will adjust because she knows I love her and I will always be here for her. I have just had knee surgery to fix the problem that happened a year ago, so I am off my feet for six weeks! So, I have been doing some stamping, and I am hopeful that I will start posting some fun things for you soon. I felt that I had lost all of my mojo, nothing seemed to turn out right and I have lots of card stock in the trash can, lol! BUT, I managed to eek out a few cards and that makes me smile again. I am facing several court dates in the near future, and that is hard, but I am going to push through them, and know that my future will hold something good for me. I never thought I would find myself in this position; I guess none of us do really who go through this. However, I have a strong faith and believe that God must have some other plans for me so I am putting my trust in Him and moving on with my life. I am unbelievably sad right now, but as I am often told, "this too shall pass".  I am reaching deep inside myself to find the courage and the strength that I will need to make it through the next two months with my dignity intact. I will then concentrate on what is next for me and my children. I have not been really doing my business right now, but I hope to start it back up again sometime in the near future because I absolutely love what I do, it makes me so very happy.  Thanks again to all of you wonderful ladies, your comments, emails, and cards have maid me smile on days that I did not think it was possible. I love you all; you have reinforced my belief that crafters have the biggest hearts of anyone!

XOXOXOXOXO

Alex my heart goes out to you and your family. This is difficult for each and everyone one of you. Take the time to heal. Know that it will be awhile. Cry, scream, shout, do whatever you have to to deal with your feelings and then find the strength within yourself to smile again. Know that you are important, you are wonderful and the stampin up community loves you.

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:10)

Dearly beloved Alex, The Bible says, “The Lord…cares for those who trust in Him” (Nahum 1:7).

Lord Jesus Himself testified about Job. He was such a godly person. Even he was tempted to a great extent. He was affected by a terrible skin disease.

Even in that situation, he expressed the following words of faith: “Though He slay me, yet will I hope in Him” (Job 13:15). “The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised” (Job 1:21). “When He has tested me, I will come forth as gold” (Job 23:10).

This was the kind of faith Job had in the Lord. May he bless you wth such a radiant fath, hope and love.
