He Is Faithful

Happy Saturday Everyone!!

I hope you all are doing well today. I'm just hanging around the house today, doing a few chores. You know the usual; laundry, floor, that type of thing.

I had a few minutes today to share what God has done recently with our little family. I spoke in my last blog about a few health problems that my husband was having. We went to the doctor Monday and got wonderful news. Its not what we originally thought it was (I will share later what the problem was)! Praise the Lord!! He is so faithful.

My husband has been going back and forth to the doctor having many tests done every few months for the past two years. To say the least it has been emotionally, physically and mentally draining. We have taken it one day at a time, literally. Sometimes we what to just throw in the towel and sometimes we want to yell and scream, "God!! Why is this happening!!" And we did. I believe this journey, though its not over, has made my husband and I spiritually stronger, both individually and together. We are faithful to each other and God has been faithful to us. Even when we don't understand why or what is going on. I have always been one of those people that needs to know it all. The next move, the next turn and then the next after that. God doesn't work like that. And you know what that's OK with me. I have learned these past two years that I don't need to know everything because I know the One that DOES know everything. I can trust in that, my husband can trust in that and so can you!

The picture above is one my daughter took when she was visiting one day. It was actually the day we were suppose to get the tests results and didn't (that's for another time). She said, "Ma, look at this pretty picture I just took." We had just gotten back from Raleigh, we were all tired and still didn't have any answers. We were told we had to wait another week and a half to get them. I got to looking at this pretty picture and remember that God has got this. The rays of sunshine coming through the trees and landing on the side of our little home is like a promise from God that there is still hope, it's not over.

I might be over sharing, but I believe that we all are going through things, big things and we need to remember that we are not in this world alone. God has got us. He knows EXACTLY what we are going through and what we are feeling. He is faithful even when we are not. That's grace and He is enough.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Blessing and Love!

Me and my man

Stand Firm

Good Sunday evening friends!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. They fly by don't they?! Monday is right around the corner.

Today in church I was reminded to stand firm. This phrase keeps popping up in my life this season. We all have battles we fight. Some are harder than others. Right now my husband and I are going through a pretty hard season. Not with our relationship but just some other things that I will not get into now. My husband is a pretty private person and his wife, me; just tends to spill everything, haha.

Anyway, we are trusting and believing God to do a mighty work during this season. He is more than able to do so. Its the process that kind of gets us down. We are a hurry up and fix it now people. We want answers and things fixed on our time and that's not God's time.

The pastor made four points

• Pray
• God is on our side
• Stay committed
• Work together     

It will be worth it in the end. So what ever you are going through; I am right there with you girlfriend, Stand firm!

I pray this spoke to someone because it sure do me.

Ya'll have a blessed week!

Good evening!

I hope everyone had a great day! My day started very early, 3 am early. I know, right? But that's part of my job and that's ok with me.

Just jumping on to reintroduce my blog, "It's a New Day".  I started a few years ago and it just dropped off. I lost interest I guess. Honestly, I still do not know at all what I am doing, lol. But I will do like I always do, be me.

I think that's what I want to do with this platform. In this world we live in today it's always rush, rush. Hurry up, go to the next appointment, meeting, child's(ren) game or performance. Sometimes during all that we may lose ourselves, especially women. I know, been there done that. Although my children are grown and gone now, I still see women; myself included, trying to keep up with what society says we should be, look like and act like. Which is totally a lie!

It has taken me 46 years to finally be comfortable in my own skin. I hope and pray that this blog will bring joy and laughter about everyday life. That being a mom during the at home years and the empty nest years, it's a tough job in all the different years. Plus, it looks different on different women. But mostly it's completely OK to be different, God made us different and unique.

I hope this blog becomes a place of encouragement, support and love. Please don't forget to subscribe and share with your friends.

Have a great week!

Blessings,
Dawn
