Broken

Last night I was watching God Tv and thinking about how the day had not gone as well as I would have liked.  We had court and although it did not go poorly, not much was accomplished.  I have been praying for a divine intervention to bring my husband home.  So, as I am sitting in my comfy chair, holding a sleeping princess, I just kept thinking "broken, I am so broken."  The tv caught my attention and one of my guys said something to the fact of "sometimes God has to allow us to be broken so he can fill us back up."  Holy Hannah!  It then made so much sense to me.  We had allowed ourselves, and in turn our family, to fall away from God (not intentionally) and that allowed these things to happen.  The good thing, is that it has made both Steve and I literally hit our knees.  We have each reconnected with our Savior and in turn, with each other.  I can say that this is the hardest thing I have gone through as a mom and wife, yet I have peace that He is going to us it for His glory.  We have been able to refocus on what the right priorities are, and start living in a way that is more pleasing to Him. Now, we just need everyone else on board so we can bring our family back together and start anew.  This too shall pass. I am so glad I have an everlasting Father that can build us a shelter to weather this storm.


P.S. Went to the clinic and I have lost 10#'s since June.  Hip-hip Horray!
