Tears the Season
In my mind, we were gonna get through this and Christmas this year was gonna be LIT!
Christmas was supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year and my moms spirit would help me decorate, shop, and be jolly. That never manifested to my reality, I decorated little, didn’t buy much, and this Christmas season has been the most chaotic and challenging time of my life. I almost died, several times - no exaggeration. My brothers saved my life, several times - no exaggeration. I have been through the fire - no exaggeration. I lost my mind, several times - no exaggeration. I have learned that stress attacks your health and your wealth and no matter how hard you think life is, it can get harder - no exaggeration.
But, God.
God let me go through much more than I could bare and through this time I learned to cast my cares on Him, for He cares for me. He showed me that His love for us on earth is just as real as is His promise for us in Heaven. He helped me to just keep going, and gave me brothers to carry me when I couldn’t go another step. He showed me that everything I needed,
God is.
My mom LOVED Christmas & she didn’t play about decorating. Instead of putting up garland and wreaths the day before Christmas, we put up a small tree and pressed through. Ok, my brother put up a tree. We even found a box of gifts my mom had bought the kids. We kept going and realized that even in the midst of some hard intense times…
God is Good.
God is good even when I don’t feel good. He’s good when things looks bad. He’s good when things are going well. He’s good when my heart is heavy and He’s good when my belly finds laughter. He was good when she gave us the best Christmas memories at home and He’s good now that she’s having the best Christmas at Home, with Him.
God is good, all the time - no exaggeration.
How can I say thanks
For all the things You've done for me?
Things so undeserved
Yet You gave to prove Your love to me
The voices of a million angels
Could not express my gratitude
All that I am
And ever hope to be
I owe it all to Thee
To God...
Be the glory
For the things He has done
