Love Your Life (lyric video) - Hilary Weeks- Enjoy!!!

Doing the Best We Can!

Howdy Friends! Wow...what a week!!!! Been going through some "heavy" stuff with the kiddos and just life. I'm sure you all know I have 5 teenage boys...5. Testosterone is brewing in the air in our home and it gets interesting...to say the least. I am outnumbered and it's a daunting task. I have to visit my sister, often, to hold her sweet, innocent infant and see her happy toddler running around to be reminded that my boys started out this way. They too are in their cocoons, or man caves as some would call it, but will eventually emerge into solid, good men. Parenthood is extremely challenging, but what a sacred honor it is too. To think the Lord entrusts His children to US, imperfect people like us...what a great Faith and Trust He has in us. To think... some of us...He felt would be just fine parenting alone!!!! What the what!!!???? A couple of years ago I had to come to terms with the fact that I'd be parenting alone for the next 10+ years and I cried myself to sleep... many a nights. I still grieve, from time to time, that this is my Reality! And then I wake up the next morning and feel renewed, strengthened, and Loved my God to go on another day.

I wanted to share part of a song I love by Hilary Weeks. She is a Christian artist and her songs are so inspiring. I hope you are inspired too...to Love Your Life...whatever that may look like for you.

P.S. The song will be in a separate post...I'm not tech savvy!

Emerging from the Cocoon!

Yes, I know it's been 2 years since I posted on this blog, and that's OK. Starting over again and again is what life is all about. I've been in a "cocoon" , of sorts, for the past 2 years - it's been dark in that space but I have emerged once again shining an even brighter light. The "cocoon" phase started with me having to work full-time, for the first time in my life as a mother...nonetheless, a single mother. This blog is a place for me to share my 10+ years of this single parenthood journey...confessions of a single parent, if you will. We can commiserate together even if you're not on this type of journey because we all have some type of journey that is heart-wrenching to the point we feel we can't go on... One.More.Day. I give all the glory and thanks to God and his son Jesus Christ...if it weren't for them I'd be stuck in a dark abyss with no Hope and no Light. I will write once a week, so check back next week as I share my life, light, and Love.
