Dinosaurs say bite me, scratch me, make me sad

Don't you love the title? My Lord can always give me laughter in the middle of the strongest storm. Because God has sent me people that I love so much because they will cry with me, plan wars with me, they will even go into battle with me and yesterday made me laugh!!! Have you ever noticed what a difference a day can make? In my life right now what a difference an HOUR can make. It seems right when I have my picture perfect someone comes along and throws another color on the canvas. It is so frustrating because I know my Lord has a beautiful portrait waiting on me. I just don't know what it will look like when He is through. The most stomach churning, heart breaking frustration is I still don't. I believe my Lord loves to watch us struggle. Are you insane? No! For those who are parents you will completely understand. Birth is painful on the mother. Excruciating. But for that baby it is a struggle just trying to wiggle its way to it's first breath! As toddlers you must fall on that booty several times before walking becomes second nature. I am not going to take a walk all the way into adulthood don't worry. But in the struggle we learn so much. In the struggle, I believe we learn more than if life were simple, structured and laid out for us. It is painful. I am wiggling just trying to find my breath. I have fallen on my booty several times this past week trying to figure it all out. But I know at the end of THIS struggle there will be perfect peace. Sorrow, Elation, A New Beginning either way....but peace. Peace...just in time to start a new struggle!
