Tangent

I want to first apologize for not posting something for over a month. The reason is that I am pregnant with my 2nd and am suffering from extreme morning sickness....hyperemsis is what some Docs call it. Look it up, you wouldn't want to be me. So food does not sound good to me at all! Don't get me wrong, I am very excited for #2 to come, but I would be happy to just sit on an egg for 9 months verses going through what I am going through.

What I will share with you, is what I have learned from this experience so far. When you go through storms in life, and I know you will, remember to feed your soul with wholesome 'food', 'snacks' throughout the day. When you are at the bottom of your pit, and I have been there very recently, remember that your strength is the only thing that will get you out. I know that is not what you wanted to hear. But when you are there, sobbing, not understanding, you will come to realize that whatever anyone says to you...it's not going to snap you out of it. You need to pick yourself up, breathe, and remember that you are not alone.

Now, I am a Christian, and I know that some of you may not be. But what has really truly helped me is soulful 'snacking': praying, asking for help, reading scripture, talking with my family and friends EVERYDAY. I have heard of people praying for me that I don't even know. The love and grace that the Lord has given me has gotten me through this storm. And He will continue to guide me out of this pit. It's not easy to trust an invisible God, but don't give up. His grace WILL shower you with relief and love. And those tears of sorrow WILL turn into tears of thanksgiving and joy.

I hope this didn't rub anyone the wrong way, I just felt that it was important for me to share with you what I have gone through; and I pray that it will help you in your storms to come.
