Walking into my daughter’s room to see this just makes me smile. This follows her telling me a few days prior that she was so bored that she cleaned out her closet & organized her clothes in rainbow color order. 🌈😂 Bless her! I feel this has certainly been a summer to “be the sunshine”... create your own rainbow...(even if it’s in your closet)😂 & do our best to find the peace & the positive.🌻 I know I am not alone with the feelings of uncertainty during our present time. As much as I hate to admit it, I have been distracted & not the mom I have always been. Trying to be your normal self is next to impossible with what appears to be our world’s “new normal”😥 On top of this world crisis, with our big move to TN, we were in new schools trying to make new friends & adjust to a new place only to be let out early for a 5 month long summer where our kids have googled, “Quarantine Activities At Home”. 😣With this past year being a huge life change for us, we also began building our new home. Please Help me Lord, Building a home is not for the faint of heart. It’s taken over & consumed our minds, too many times out of our control, but still, it’s made the sunshine simply scorching at times. This intensifies my absolute crave for normal. Normal home with normal life with normal work load & normal school & normal friend & sports activities. I read articles that “normal isn’t on the menu anymore for kids going back to school”... 😪 This is truly hard...on everyone! I know no one is alone! Everyone in the world wants things to get better! We all have our times we cry out for help & then days we can encourage others. This morning it hit me that as much as we all want things to go back to normal, we might have to actually take a step down to lesser times. We have to be “willing” to do what it takes to rise back up to a greater time again. I don’t know if that’s masks or virtual school or more creating our own rainbows & sunshine! I thought about Jesus. He was “willing” to die on the cross for us. But was He? We know why He was....Because God Made Him That Way! He made him to “be willing”, to do the unthinkable, to sacrifice for the greater good. To wear not a mask...but a crown of thorns! Believe it or not... God Made Us The Same Way!!!! We are ALL capable of Willingness! We HAVE to be WILLING for these times we have in front of us. We have to remember that whatever is causing a hole in our lives & world right now, that Only God Can Fill It. Our treasure must be in Heaven & not things of this suffering mortal earth.
My new quote I love...”Our Soul is Tailor Made To Be Filled With God & His Truth!” 🌈 ☀️ ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜☀️🌈
