Bittersweet

All day long I've tried to come up with a word that would describe the feeling of my day today.  The only word that hangs on in the background is Bittersweet.  Although I'm leaning more to the negative side of the word than the sweet part to be honest.

I've been praying for so long for truth to come out and for circumstance to change in regards to my step son, praying that he would get caught and then a disciplinary action would take place to get his attention.

Now that it seems that my prayers have been heard and answered on some level....why do I have mixed emotions and my heart aches?

Details are still unknown to the new development in the situation and daily living around my step-son and family.....

All I know to do right now is to lean on God, he knows best and has everything worked out for the good of all involved beyond our understanding.  All I can do is rejoice in the peace and freedom that has come with it and then pray for the Holy Spirit to take hold of it all.

Bittersweet......

Embracing

Embracing who I am and what I look like.

Embracing the fact that my oldest daughter is growing up way to fast.....she now has her permit and I have been embracing the idea of her driving. 

Embracing peace that surpasses all understanding despite the circumstances in my life

Embracing the Holy Spirit and his work in my life.

God's Work Not Mine

Sometimes God doesn't change your situation because He is trying to change your heart.

God has been working in my life lately.  I can see His hand in my life with my family.   A peace beyond all understanding has taken place in my heart.  Things haven't changed as I'd like them too around here but God is equipping me with what I need so that I can honor Him in the things that I do while He works in and around me.  

A thankful heart :)

A good song for the day

God brings peace

God gives answers in the middle of chaos.  He also gives you the wisdom and strength to hear and know his answers.  Along with the peace that surpasses all understanding.  Therefore moving forward is the only way to go, with eyes looking upward, and heart open to Him.  Its not as hard as one would think it to be.

Thank you
