Hello Moms,
Today was one of those rough days that pulled on my heart more than ever. My 5 year old is having a rough time being away from home and it hurts me to the core. She misses me badly and when she calls she doesn't want to hang up the phone. Her crying pulls on me so heavily. I really wish I had something more exciting to blog about but as a mother, all I can think of is, "How do I make my hurting child feel better?"
How can I help her pass the time and understand that it wont be long before she gets to come home? How can I encourage her to be joyful while she is away? All she seems to think about is how much she misses me. She doesn't understand the distance nor does she understand the amount of time she will be gone. All she knows is FAR and LONG. How can I cheer her up from a distance?
As we sat on the phone, I began to sing a song to her that seemed to calm her spirit a little. "I've got the Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy down in my heart..." Then I prayed with her. I am so thankful for the blessing of prayer, music and song. I am praying that she will become Joyful through this processes knowing that sometimes we have to deal with things we don't want to, but its only temporary.
Usually I have words of encouragement but today I just need a space to release. That is what this sisterhood is about. When my little ones left, Ruth and Robin called me over to walk with them. That was such a blessing to me. The other moms sent me emails encouraging me. I am so thankful for that. Sisterhood and Friendship are both necessary in this walk of life so I would encourage you to never discount its significance.
This blog is a little different but if I am honest, having a space to express myself has helped me. Please continue to pray for me and my Blended journey as I pray for yours as well.
Be Blessed

You know that you, Domonique, and Darious are in my daily prayers! I love you and your God like strength! Women need to see that though the blended life isn't easy it is possible through Christ!
