Today

Today I am thankful for the wonderful family that God gave me. Parents that prayed for me & my family even before I was even born and a sister that prays for me, Kevin & my children now.

I went to a women's prayer breakfast yesterday. We focused on praying for our children & their teachers and leaders. I have been so lonely & frustrated this week and as I looked around, it hit me, these women are all just like me. Not only was I at a table where one other woman just moved to the area, and two of the women had been involved in the military and knew what that life is like, but everyone there understood my struggles as a mother. As the 30 something of us there began to pray I understood that every mother's heart there felt like mine. All of our hearts beg Jesus to protect our sweet children. And everyone of them, at some point and time, have had as horrible of a week as I had last week. Funny, I had felt so alone and so frustrated with Scarlett. How silly of me to think that there was no one else out there feeling like me.... God has had a way of showing his amazing self to me everywhere I turn lately. I like it. :)
