Honestly speaking...

I will be completely honest...the first post I started this morning would have been written completely out of hurt...then I saw something that has stopped me dead in my tracks.  Immediately changed everything.  From this point on the hurt doesn't matter anymore.  We all get hurt, even by people we love.  I do know that it's not intentional, just as the ones I have hurt I have not done it intentionally.  The world is an ugly place, people do things that are beyond comprehension.  If you don't have your family to run to you have almost nothing. 

So this is my intention, my perception, my reality  I resolve to stop wearing my heart on my sleeve, I will let things roll off my back and not keep them in my pocket.  I will strive to reach out.  I will stop making assumptions and I hope they are no longer made of me because all it does is...yes you guessed it...make an ass out of u and me!

Lord help this woman (me) to see things differently.  Help me to be helpful and not a hindrance to any situation.  Lord restore our relationships with the strength they once had and sweep out the eggshells we all feel like we walk on.  Help us to be more than family, help us learn to lean on each other again but lean on you first and foremost.  Father I thank you for your love, guidance, and protection that surrounds all of us.  Amen
