We traveled to and from UVA again today. The day started with me spilling coffee all over myself, my sheets, my mattress, and even the dog.... it didnt get much better from there. The circumstances during the day were nothing but stressful and sorrow filled, but I choose to see the things God did do. He did protect us on the road when we should have gotten into multiple accidents. He did get us there on time for my appointment when I really dont know how because we were stuck in so much traffic. He did give me kind Drs and lab techs to be on my medical team. He did give my husband stamina to drive there and back with very little sleep and having to get up at 430am tomorrow. He did give me an amazing friend that made sure my kids were safe and fed when it was going to be longer than we had planned I was confident in their security. So even though, my heart is failing, my lungs are not able to breathe in right, my joint pain is at an all time high, and I can barely walk or sit up at times, and a long list of other serious complaints, Im thankful. Im thankful that despite so many harsh financial, medical, emotional, and spiritual battle after battle God shows Himself to me in the small moments. Hes in seeing the sun peaking through the clouds over the mountain top and giving a Dr just the right words to tell me He sees me. I saw my Dad who was moved to another facility covered in grossness but happy in his own mind. He thought he caught a mackrel, and to me Im happy that hes happy no matter that he doesnt have a clue whats going on. Even though I am very discouraged and tired because Im human, I feel confident in knowing God has a plan, and if I keep following Him and putting my faith in Him, that plan will reveal itself at just the right time. Thank you to those who continue to pray for miracles in my health, protection, provision, and strength for our family.
The crucial test to save any relationship including friendship and marriage
Do you know what your love language is? Focus on the Family has made it their mission to help marriages in ways not many others have found solid ground. Having been frustrated in long term relationships and then in my own marriage we sought out answers as to why we don't FEEL loved for years. Through counseling years ago, research and learning tools in our marriage we were able to pin point key reasons why we didnt show each other the love the way we interpret and need to be loved. After taking The test I found out my two love languages are Acts of Service and Quality Time. Acts of Service Can vacuuming the floors really be an expression of love? Absolutely! Anything you do to ease the burden of responsibilities weighing on an "Acts of Service" person will speak volumes. The words he or she most want to hear: "Let me do that for you." Laziness, broken commitments, and making more work for them tell speakers of this language their feelings don't ma...
