I have had a long summer. A very looong year in fact, but this summer was particularly challenging for me. Between some church issues, family moving away, friendships changing, relational issues, and just plain wacky health.... it's been Lo-hong! I have found myself in many low places this year battling for joy, battling for patience, battling for peace. I have found myself in dark pits of despair and loneliness in my heart... or even feeling as if I would have a mental breakdown if one.more.thing. were to come my way. But you know what?! I've not broken!! God has carried me through even when I consciously refused to open His word or consciously refused to cast my burden on him. (I hate when I do that!)
Welp. While my challenges are FAR from over, and while I'm still in battle for joy, daily, I have been lifted, ever so slightly, by the gentle (isn't he kind?) hand of my Savior to look for my blessings. I want to count my blessings!
So. Chin lifted. Eyes alert. I dig in.
