Marriage

Perfection

I don’t think you would ever suspect me- the cheerful, ultimate optimist, glass half-full, (must I confess) annoyingly perky without coffee personality. I wake up at 5:30 each morning to go work out, eat healthy (except for chocolate splurges), read, adore my husband and son, love my extended family, worship the Almighty God. Everything is [&hellip

I See You

John 20:29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” Growing up in a Christian household I have been blessed with believing with a childlike mind, which over time has grown in to something that I never imagined. I have always [&hellip

Days

Day 304, I have gone to bed 303 times without you next to me. I have woken up 303 times to the thought of you not being here. I have done a lot since you left me here. I am just trying to figure this thing out. Just when I think I have it figured [&hellip
