Dear God, I love you and I know the lessons I am learning this year are for a reason. Please don't be angry with me for tears and my frustrations. I know I am strong, and I know you are here for me. You've given me a rough year, and I know this is only making me stronger. If I can get past this year, I can get through anything. Thank you for listening to my never ending prayers and for only answering a few of them. The rest that are unanswered I assume are meant to be that way.
Dear Yesterday, as much as life has been getting better lately, you really, really, really wore me out. I don't think I could have cried more than I did yesterday. My eyes are swollen today and my heart is heavy, but I know that she will be okay.
Dear HSP, you guys rock my world. I'm so incredibly thankful to have the world's coolest bosses on the planet. I'm so blessed!
Dear DDHP, you're my rock babe. My ROCK. Without you, I'd be a blob of mess of cow poop. You keep me grounded and you love me even through the toughest times. I know that if I never have everything in life that I've wished for, I have you and that is all I will ever need. I thank my lucky stars every single day that I have you. You've been amazing in every single way. Even if we lived in a card board box, I'd be happy because I'd be with you. Granted, it would be THE BEST CARDBOARD BOX EVER...we'd rock it for sure.
Dear Pumpkin Spice Lattes, I get it. EVERYONE loves you. But guess what? I love you MORE.
Dear Fall, you're sneaking in slowly but surely and my boots are shaking and ready to GO. SO hurry up and cool off just a little more please? :)

Awww! Hang in there love! I wish I could give you a big hug! One thing I've learned about God is that he ALWAYS knows what he's doing. You just have to trust the process. :)
ReplyDeleteStay strong and keep the FAITH. I'll be praying with you! XOXO
So sorry for all your frustrations, but you are so smart to trust God even when it feels crazy! Hope you have a relaxing and refreshing weekend!
