So glad this week is over!

Omg! No one can be more happy this week is over than me! I knew when I woke up Monday morning I should have just pulled the covers over my head and slept till Friday or maybe even the next Monday! Yeah that would have been better the next Monday! But then if I got to sleep a week (which would have been nice) I would have missed some of the good points of my week (yes there were a couple) Its so funny I can have my foundation attacked and everything rock me to my core but I suddenly stop and am like okay Lord keep me rooted in my foundation! Keep my feet planted firmly on the ground, keep my foundation built on the rock, not the sand and he does...its amazing but he has never failed me. He has brought me to my knees but He has never failed me!

People need to get this straight, they arent going to destroy me they are going to destroy themselves, life isnt all about living in the past, life is about living in the present and future and people who are miserable and petty think there is nothing better than hashing up the past and things that happen in the past for their enjoyment -- to me that is so sad, what has happened has happened and its over get over it and move on ..thats Christ in me. Satan however wants people to wallow in the past the whole he did this, you did this thing. He wants people to be miserable in their lives, to be bankrupt and unhappy. I may not have lots of money but you dont need lots of money to be rich, I am rich in friends and love of my family and my kids are the loves of my life, I dont know where I would be without my kids I know there are days where I have been attacked and rocked to my core and just so want to give up and then I come home and Alison will have smiled at me and Matty will hug me and tell me how much he loves his mommy and Dustin will call me and tell me all about his day and then I know how much it is worth it and how lucky and blessed I am. I cannot believe at one time in my life I put my marriage over my kids and I am so glad that the Lord with his grace and love opened my eyes and helped me to realize how much more important and much more constant my kids will be more than anyone else in my life.

Life is not all about you. Life is about what a difference you make in someone's life.I have taught my children and other single moms and families about the love of Christ. Its not easy putting yourself on the back burner and focusing on others but the rewards and the blessings are awesome! I just cant see how people can be selfish and petty, and constantly rehash things that are past, there is always so much more as you look toward the future...my favorite saying is that "God may close a door, but He always will open a window." I know this week was bad but God did put some people in my life to get me through it (thanks for the hug I so needed it and it was so nice to meet you put a face with a voice and I am looking forward to getting to know you even more.) As for the "downers" in my life ...just get over it and move on..Lord knows Ihave, I dont care about your petty lives oh and my life isnt sad my life is a work in progress full of ups and downs and please dont justify to me how perfect you are or have your s/o tell me how awesome you are all I can say to that is whatever. I dont get fired from my job because of my attitude, instead this week I was awarded a command sargeant majors coin from the North American Medical Corp for the US Army for my 2 years of exemplary service to Camp Atterbury and was also honored by the post commander for outstanding service to the soliders of Camp Atterbury which is truly an awesome accomplishment and one that has only been duplicated by 3 other persons in the last 6 years. Well I have a bathroom that needs to be cleaned and laundry to put away ...moms always on the go!
