These last few months will be hard- but things will change once again. The load will lighten in some ways and get heavier in others- but you will be okay. You come from good German stock and you have all the faith you need to endure. Love you sweetie....Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01868111539912122938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2330757098221229362.post-34597392669696374022012-09-09T23:17:16.350-04:002012-09-09T23:17:16.350-04:00I best those same voices sometimes....they sing to...I best those same voices sometimes....they sing to me.

ESPECIALLY when they're bathed in hormones and fatigue. And you just may need some kind of outside help once in a while - there is no shame in that. None. And sometimes . . . sometimes, that last little bit of 'coming unto' means actually letting go of the things we want to control but cannot. Sometimes it means deeply acknowledging that we don't know what's best, or even sometimes what's right - we have to relinquish it all before we can even begin to truly rest. And that is SO hard, especially if you're at all wired like I am and are a control freak extraordinaire. Praying for all of it, friend - for relinquishment and for rest most especially.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11778701909628887403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2330757098221229362.post-27852798212672777882012-09-08T09:05:35.272-04:002012-09-08T09:05:35.272-04:00this is so beautifully written.
