Is it just me, or does anyone else ever feel like they are living life by the skin of their teeth? It's not that you are in the worst or most stressful of situations necessarily, it's the everyday. At times, I'm reminding myself that God's got me...front and back and I'm not going to go crazy and there in fact IS a purpose for my life other than cooking, cleaning, and managing. I'm not complaining about my life at all. I know I am loved and blessed. I also know that God brings me to these places to remind me of my need to cling...cling to what is GOOD! I know He is answering a prayer I've uttered in passing..."Please God, don't let it take something horrible to remind me of how much I need you!!"
I've gotten fretful at times feeling this way when I seem to have it all. It took me writing this blog entry to realize it is an answer to prayer. God is indeed reminding me that I need HIM! I need HIM EVERY SINGLE SECOND! I'm hanging on for dear life! As I'm typing this, my boys are literally at each other's throats....my grip just got tighter.

Even though you ARE the perfect daughter in law...the perfect mom (in my eyes...and in other's eyes)... the perfect wife and the perfect friend... it isn't always going to be great and sometimes it feels like God doesn't exist in your life. But as your wrote...you realized that without Him, you wouldn't even be missing Him. He's is still in the business of sending little sticky notes in our mind...reminding us of His everlasting love.
You know you go through seasons where it feels like your prayers fall back on your head, but the Bible does tell us He hears all our prayers. ...
Letter may be falling...but God is listening and HE loves you so much.
More than me.
