Welcome to January 2018 Ultimate Blog Challenge Day #5. How are you this morning? As for me, all I can say is I am numb. It’s just the 1st week of 2018 and I am overwhelmed in all that has been happening. So here is today’s prompt and all I can say is to step back, take a deep breath and to believe that the Lord isn’t going to give us more than we can handle.
So today my question for you is what One Piece of Advice would you like to share with everyone and why? What is a subject or activity you have a lot of knowledge around? If you were giving your 1 best tip to someone brand new to that subject or activity, what would you tell them? What do you wish you’d known when you were new to the subject or activity?
The last week of 2018 a friends fiance passed away and they were in the process of planning there Wedding for May 4th my sister’s birthday. A Star Wars wedding which I couldn’t wait to attend. Then in the blink of an eye, she is burying the love of her life. With no, warning at all that her life as she knew it was over. 6 months before she buried her dad and 6 months before that her mom.
Then yesterday my friend called me last night to let me know her mom was going to need to have Surgery and it was pretty serious and as soon as they get the date she would let me know. So, her Anniversary trip with her husband was on hold. As they wait to find out the fate of her mom’s health issues. As I was talking to her I remembered what I went through when my mom was diagnosed with Cancer.
I could feel the fear Debbie is facing and I could hear her husband trying to find the words to support Debbie. All the while relieving the accident which took his moms life. All I wanted to do was reach through the phone and give them both big hugs and let them know I was there for them. That I was Praying and if they need anything to just ask.
All the while I kept saying it’s okay just breathe nothing else bad is going to happen. 2018 is going to be your year. Then we pick up Charlie from school and he is hurt. So again we are trying to decide to leave him in the school or remove him and go back to Homeschooling. As I sat here today thinking about all these things and trying to figure out if I wanted to work or what I wanted to say.
I just kept hearing tomorrow isn’t Promised and to make sure you tell everyone you know you love them. No, I don’t have any advice for you today but I have a question how can I keep moving forward when I feel like I am drowning. Please Pray for my friends and family and keep reminding me to take my time and to breath as that is what is best for my family.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
