It's been forever friends!
Hi everyone,I know it has been forever, but I had no idea what to write about. Then I was reading Vanessa's blog and I had a response and it turned into a nice little letter so here it is...
In response to Vaness'a "Why?" post:
I am also blessed, but I have faced (and still face) many of the hard things you mention. I have lost a sibling to suicide, and all of my grandparents to very bad illnesses, but one. My parents are divorced, and I was forced to grow up very quickly; my Step-dad hates my dad and makes all family events super fun (way sarcastic here.) I have many health problems some of which may cause me to never be able to have children, I also never had to worry about bombs, but I had a father (and now brother) in the US NAVY so military events were always very real to me.
But through all of this I know also that I am blessed. I have a wonderful husband who loves me and takes great care of me when I am sick, when I have to go to the hospital. He knows and understands the risks involved with me having children and loves the fact that there are so many other options for us to have children. I have a wonderful step mom who came into my life and gave me back part of my childhood and tough me how to be a loving wife and someday a mother. I have been blessed with an education and a job for the future. I have a dad and a brother who are willing to risk their skinny little necks for our safety, and the future of our children.
So my point: even if it looks like my life was hard, I am still blessed. I would not have considered it hard; there are so many people out there who have it worse then me. And maybe that is the point, to find those people and love them. Truly love them, because when we do we are showing them what God’s love looks like. And if by loving one person, they find the truth then, I have truly lived a great life.
