It has been a hard few days. I have been dealing with several sad things dealing with people I love so much. That is, I think, the hardest part about being a Christian...loving God in the middle of the sad times. I want to ask "Why, Lord?" I know that everything God does is for a purpose and that he uses all things for good, but it doesn't take away the fact that it is hard. My sweet friend lost her Grandfather this morning, and yes, VERY HARD, but he lived a full and happy life, he is no longer in any pain, and is able to see his wife again and sit at the feet of his savior. My two friends that have lost sweet unborn babies, that is harder to deal with. Tonight I was looking at my Anna Claire while I was rocking her to sleep (I know I just can't stop) and I thanked God for my gift, in her. And I cried out to the Lord to please comfort my friends, show them your presence and let them know that in the midst of their pain you are still on your throne and love them.
What do you say?
How do you help them?
I am just at a loss...
On a much lighter opposite note, I know I need to update my blog SO bad, but I am creating one for a friend and working SO hard to make it just right, so soon I promise!
Her few new things that she said right when I needed a little humor...
1.) Me: How was your day with your friends Anna Claire?
A.C.: Great! We were all VERY, VERY drunk! (I am ashamed that I laughed a little. I really don't know where she got that! We had a conversation about why that isn't nice...)
2.) Me: Flicking on and off the lights...
A.C. Mommy you stop that! You are wasting LIGHTRICITY!!!
3.) Anna Claire was doing a little monologue for me, Brad, Mom and Dad. She named her characters Azul and Mariella and then says...
You are all such hoochies! (I know where this one came from...her favorite Judy Garland song "Meet Me in St. Louis" you should hear her sing it!)
I'll be back soon with more pictures and updates. Please pray for my friends...
