Tell me once again

It’s been a rough week. Heck, in some ways it’s been a rough month. Few months.  I can’t so much elaborate, but it has definitely brought about the need for some important reminders…

**It doesn’t matter what she thinks, it matters what HE thinks about me, and He thinks I am “wonderfully made.” Ps. 139:14

**When the love around me and hope for my future seem no longer sure, HE will not fail me. HIS love is unfailing.  Ps 33:22,   Jer 29:11

**My silent tears are not unnoticed. HE comes to my comfort.  Ps 145:19

And music is always the avenue that reaches me in the strongest way…

“You are God, You are God, Of all else I’m letting go…
I’m running to your arms, I’m running to your arms,
The riches of YOUR love will always be enough.”
--Hillsong “Forever Reign”

“In the mirror all I see is who I don’t want to see,
Remind me who I am…
Tell me once again who I am to YOU…
If I’m you’re beloved, can you help me believe it?”
--Jason Gray “Remind Me Who I Am”

“Try and do the best you can, hold on and let Him hold your hand,
Go on and fall into the arms of Jesus…
He knows how much it hurts, and I’m sure that He’s gonna help you get through this...
When the waves are taking you under, hold on just a little bit longer, He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger.
The pain ain’t gonna last forever, in time it’s gonna get better, believe me, this is gonna make you stronger…”
--Mandisa “Stronger”

I must soak in these truths, in the reality that is so very different from my perception.  I need not dwell on these times of sadness. HE is here. He IS here. He is HERE.

Thank Goodness.

    Beautiful Post! I know what you mean about rough months, since last September I feel I don't have a rest. God gives us strength to go through all these rough times.

    Sunrises and buttercups and fawns and grandchildren are my scriptures and songs. I am glad God repeats himself over and over in a myriad of ways. Big Hugs.

31 for 21: What to say

I have encountered plenty of people who ask "How old is she?" when Braska and I are out together here and there. They always guess her age about 5 months younger than she is, but that's ok, since that's what size she is. I have said several times that I can imagine it will bother me a bit more, although still not a huge deal, when she turns one next month and I see their reaction to that, as she still is in her car seat/carrier when we're in a restaurant or in a store since she doesn't sit up. Today, I met some friends for brunch. The waitress was a nice enough, very young girl, and she started cooing at Braska right away. That's nice. I don't mind, Braska likes the attention, and I'm proud of my cutie. The waitress asked her age, and I told her 11 months. She then said, "But she's not walking yet?" as she noticed that she was up to the table in her car seat/carrier. I just agreed and said, "Not yet." She said she h

Little call, big letters

This will make more sense to you DS moms and families out there... I apologize for the cryptic nature, but you'll have to trust my reasoning. Braska had a lab draw on Tuesday last week. The GI called me Wednesday and said there were some significantly elevated levels in the results. Ok fine. Not like we've never had an abnormal lab. But then he used *those* words...the C word and the L word. Said he'd be talking to hem/onc. We needed to go redraw on Friday morning. We didn't freak or anything, but when I hung up the phone, I thought, "Wow, so that's what it's like the first time they mention it." We took her for her draw again on Friday morning, and we figured everything was fine since we got no call over the weekend. Yesterday I checked in with them. Dr. R confirmed that everything was clear, almost in a "weird way," but they checked with the lab to make sure it was a viable result. All is well. Follow up in 6 months as usual unle

Can I get a do-over?

If you are in need of a laugh at another's expense, I invite you to read on... really, it's totally ok. I can take it. This might end up long, but I wanna remember this special day. Oh so special... Today is my first day to have both girls and be on my own. Yeah, it's been two weeks, but I'm apparently slow at learning how to deal with this kind of thing. I knew it would be a challenge, but I thought with starting way early, we could make it. The quick ending is that we did make it...but that's not really the whole story. Kinlee's been sleeping til about 9 am or so after getting up twice in the night. That's ok, I'm dealing with it. But since Braska is supposed to be at school at 10 am on Mondays, I thought I better not sleep in like I prefer, and instead, I should get up and get things moving earlier to be sure we're on time. Not a problem, since Braska decided to be up twice last night in addition to Kinlee's two times. One time overlapped...so
