Seriously!

Okay ladies how many of you have had those days, weeks, months that you are ready to throw in the white flag?  I have officially had my SERIOUSLY I am done month.  If my main goal for this blog is to share ups and downs and be real to help women connect and not feel alone then I must share my past month.  I know all of us have had these days, weeks, months and sometimes years.  So I hope this is uplifting and helps you see that you are not alone we all have days where we throw our hands up in the air and yell "SERIOUSLY" I can't take any more! 

Last month started of normal (well normal for this family), but it soon went down hill fast.  My month pretty much consisted of me getting the flu for the first time ever, my very first mammogram (which lead to more test and more test and in the end all was good), health issues on both sides of our family (a mom who has been battling breast cancer for many years and everything took a sharp turn and a father who battles heart problems and those problems took a sharp turn), teenager issues (issues my husband and I never thought we would be focusing on), and a husband who carries it all on his shoulders (my husband just wants to fix everyone and carry all of us through life)!  Yep I can truly say I do not want to EVER relive this month...I said ever!   So the question that keeps coming up in my head daily this past month was "how much more?"!

How did I survive my "SERIOUSLY" month:

*  A husband who is constantly standing by and support his family and seeking God

*  An amazing sister who listens and prayers

*  Surrounding myself with godly friendships (friends that God truly placed in m life)

*  Overall - trusting in God even when the trust is hard and seeking Him daily even when I didn't want to

Everyday life is usually busy for everyone but when new things pop up on those normally busy, crazy and sometimes stressful days it is hard.  Ladies we MUST make a choice daily and that choice is to seek God.  This is not a guarantee that life will be wonderful but with this choice we will know that God is walking it with us.  That God believes we have the strength to endure it and survive it.  This past month has been one I truly wish to forget but as I look back I can truly see how God was preparing me for the massive speed bumps that were coming, He was preparing me!  What an amazing feeling to have!  God loves us and he wants to give us the tools to fight and be strong!  I have been reminded often this past month that God is always preparing us and is teaching us for the speed bumps that He knows are coming.

I know I probably sound like a broken record but it is a choice that we must make a choice to seek Him daily with our life!  Seek Him first daily, allow your husbands to support and help carry your burdens (God has given our husband amazing strength),   keep your family relationships Christ focused and seek those Christ centered friendships that are needed in our daily lives!
