awful day

I know that God has amazing plans for my family, to give us a hope and a future and not to harm us (Jeremiah 29:11). I know that He works all things together for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). But you know, sometimes life is just HARD. Curveballs are thrown at you and they hurt.

Well, yesterday was just an awful day. My character was called into question by someone who I trusted.

I just feel defeated. Actually, I kind of feel like someone just decided to use my heart as a trampoline.

Anyway, I know that I know that I know that God has the best in mind for me; I just hate when it hurts this badly.

So, when I was praying with all the boys last night at the end of such a horrible day, Nate prayed this, "Thank you Jesus for this awful day. Amen."

Yep...that about sums it up.

So, with the reminder provided to me from my awesome seven-year-old, I will choose to praise God in this storm. Although the future is unclear, I know that my God will guide us and protect us and LOVE us!

I don't know how I would make it without Him.

Psalm 28:7
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.
