Today is a gloomy, rainy day and it matches my mood. I'm missing my mom a lot - just because. So today I am grateful for her. For my mom who raised me to persevere and keep going even when I don't want to.
"Forgive me my sins, O Lord; forgive me the sins of my youth and the sins of my age, the sins of my soul and the sins of my body, my secret and my whispering sins, the sins I have done to please myself and the sins I have done to please others. Forgive those sins which I know, and the sins which I know not; forgive them, O Lord, forgive them all of Thy great goodness. Amen." -Beliefnet's prayer of the day

That prayer is a good one, especially 'the sins which I know not'....Love your guts...((hugs))
My dear friend,
I know that your mother is proud of you and you are a strong woman. Keep talking to her in your heart.
Love,

hey girl.
i am definitely ready for the sun to shine again (both literally and figuratively).
Have you ever read the book, "The Land Between" by Jeff Manion?
This is from the preface -
"I firmly believe that the Land Between {the space where we feel lost or lonely or deeply hurt} is fertile ground for our spiritual transformation and for God's grace to be revealed in magnificent ways..... and while the Land Between is prime real estate for faith transformation, it is also the space where we can grow resentful, bitter and caustic if our responses are unguarded. The wilderness where faith can thrive is the very desert where it can dry up and die if we are not watchful."
I think it's gonna be a good read.
Hugs to you!
Sara
