In the beginning..


Do you ever wonder, why God brings certain people into your life? Does anyone ever question why we cant choose our family? I know that sounds harsh, but really..I just find it hard to understand, how some people live for the drama, how they can be so selfish and just mean. And get enjoyment out of seeing people hurt. It's something that I may never understand. But the daily battle I am fighting right now, it to rise above them, and be the better person. But my flesh is screaming for me to react and do the easier thing..I might not be like my husband and children who are social butterflies and can talk to just any stranger. I am more laid back and reserved and I like to people watch. But if you ask my friends, they will let you know how passionate I am about my relationships. But people judge too quickly, instead of giving people the benefit of the doubt. We are supposed to be Godly examples to people, and act in a way that is pleasing to God, to where a complete stranger can see us, and think "Wow, is that how amazing life is, to have God in it".. I ask myself, how my actions portray that Godly life.

I think back to the beginning of my child hood. I was the only girl with 2 brothers. And we used to have so much fun, we were very close and did everything together. And had the best imaginations. I remember us wearing my head bands over our eyes and pretending we had special glasses that could see thru any wall. And we built big forts with blankets and would play all day in it. And now we are all grown up, and married with kids dealing with life. And those relationships we had are no longer there. And it is heartbreaking. So, I want to know, as a mom who has children, how can I prevent my own children from the heartache? How can I guarantee that my kids will always love each other and be there for each other, even when they are grown and married with kids? Is there a guarantee?

Welcome to My Life..
