I am just going to do a quick update here...
- My husband's step dad is out of the Hospital.
- Our niece and her baby are doing well

I changed the background of my blog to something brighter in hopes that it would encourage me to focus more on the positive than the negative. It's funny because, for those who know me in real life, I am a very positive person. I say 'upside down smile' instead of calling it a frown. Yeah, I'm that bad.
The only place I've been able to share some of the not so nice stuff is here on my blog. And, while I still need that, I am going to do my best to be more positive and share the good things that are happening in my life. I will share more about the lessons I have learned instead of the torture it took to get there.
First thing I'll share is that God answered a prayer of ours. With only me working, finances are usually tight. We've been praying for God's provision in this area of our life. The other night, God woke up a family member of mine and told her to send X amount of money to us. That's right. God totally answered our prayers!!!
Thank God for hearing and answering, and for providing!!

I'm glad to hear that your step-dad-in-law is out of the hospital and that the niece and baby are doing well. Those are two things that can put a good spin on almost anything.
Thanks Jamwes!! It certainly is a good thing.
I'm glad that things seem to be going better. I like that you want to focus on more postitive things in your life, but I would have you be real and in the moment even when "the not so good things" occur or bother you. Sharing both are important. I also wonder if you hid behind the "happy" part of you. Just a thought, but what do I know. (((((BIG HUG)))))
Ah, Clueless, you are far too wise. :) I do stuggle with share the things that bother me, and I DO hide behind the "happy' me - all the time. I've done that for as long as I can remember.
This blog is the one place where I feel like I can share whatever is on my heart and mind - positive or negative. I don't want to lose that, I just want to be conscious of seeing that there is good in every situation.
Thanks for your thoughts. I appreciate you.
Thank God for answering your prayers and providing for your family, Spin! Thank God too that your husband's step dad is out of the Hospital and your niece and her baby are doing well. Glad too that you have changed the background of your blog to something brighter.
I found it helpful too to write on my blog on thanksgiving items and things that are positive in my life and the many wonderful ways God is helping and blessing me. Though I also share my struggles, I try to focus more on how God is helping me to cope. I found that it helps me to keep a better perspective and I feel less sad or defeated by the challenges in my life. I have seen God answering many prayers and working His wonderful ways for me. May you continue to know God's love, provisions and blessings daily.
Thanks for your visit. Take care and have a very blessed weekend!
Warm regards,
Nancie
Hi Nancie! How nice of you to stop by and spread some encouragement my way! I appreciate your comments and I love your outlook on life.
Admitting that you struggle and then describing how God helps you through it is a great way to share life. I think that is more the approach that I need to take. Thanks for sharing that!!
Hope your weekend is wonderful and blessed.
