Don't cry
Pray
Seek God in His word
laundry

Cry
Pray some more...
This is my life
the thing is....
many mornings, I don't want to get out of bed
I want to lie in my tears and go back to sleep
but not really....
what I really want is....
For Brett to come walking through the door saying hey momma what's up?
To find a sunny spot in my yard to plant a garden
To play with my crazy little Jack
To cook healthy for the two athletes I have that work so hard
To get involved in ministry
To share the gospel with the broken and the lost
I want my old life back......
It was easy
What I am learning though is...
That was then and this is now...
Easy isn't always best
Back then I didn't see Jesus like I see him now
I didn't yearn for the prompting of the Holy Spirit like I do now
I didn't seek God the Father in his word like I do now
I didn't desire to share this amazing Grace that I live in like I do now
Even though sometimes when I wake up I just want cry and go back to sleep
God gently nudges me out of bed so I can
Get dressed
make the bed
pray.......
and hopefully some day soon by his power
I will have a new life,"new and improved"
and
I will be able to do more

You are a beautiful, strong, woman of God. He will walk you through this. You are so brave, such an inspiration. Still praying for you, Tina.
You really are my hero and I know you give all the glory to God. You are truly living out your faith in such a big real way. I'm so glad you choose every day to listen to God as he nudges you out of bed.
I pray that one day soon you will have that new and improved life. Praying for you.
