Its been a long time since I posted....not because I didn't have anything to say...but more so because I had so much to say....and some of it wasn't able to be wrapped up in a nice tidy post. You know the kind I am talking about, the cute story of how your child whispered the most adorable 'i love you', the perfect recipe hit that all of your family loved...and begged you to make again accompanied with the pixel perfect pictures to go with impeccably groomed children. None of what I had to say really could be summed up in a cute post. And really, would anyone want to read how my heart was hurting....or that my world was upside down....and how our family was dealing with my children's daddy being sick? So I stayed silent. Cause silent was safe.
But life is not always about the 'tidy' posts. The feel good moments. Really, this stuff of life sometimes is messy. Children know this....most 'feel good' moments'are messy...mud pies, rubber boots and raindrops, finger paint...all messy.
And out of the mess...we grow.
This too I know.
So, I'm back...messy and all...to share with you my friends.

I love you Jo! I have had those times when I held my pain inside, afraid that if I said it out loud it would make it too real and my world would explode. Time teaches us that with God's help we get through these dark days - we endure them - and when we get through to the other side we have a new appreciation for the days God gives us that we can enjoy instead of endure.
