It is hard to hold on and to believe sometimes when it seems the whole world has turned its back on us. I have often wondered why God chooses to allow such terrible burdens to be placed on some while others seem to pass along life's path quite easily. I am glad that you are moving towards the sunshine- xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1635195964977876647.post-87662183378111230222013-03-22T23:16:46.458-07:002013-03-22T23:16:46.458-07:00What an encouraging post, Amber. And it applies to...What an encouraging post, Amber. And it applies to just about any very hard, difficult, horrendous, heart wrenching thing any of us has ever had to go through...and you are so completely correct. You never know what any one person has been through. No one gets out of life unscathed or without some real abuse of some form or another, either from someone in or out of family, from yourself, from physical life circumstances, from mental life circumstances, from spiritual life experiences...life is challenging, and some times, seconds/minutes/hours/days/months/years, we hang on by our teeth, hoping we can make it to where we even get a glimmer of a light at the end of a tunnel. But in those deepest darkest times....there is a quiet stillness, or a hint of a quiet stillness, and sometimes all you have is a memory of a quiet stillness, and knowing in your head that believing is the only thing that will get you through, you do make it through that tunnel, and then sometimes you have to adjust to being blinded by the light and there is still lingering pain and suffering becasue your eyes are hurting so much! I don't know if that makes any sense..but I have been through my own version of that tunnel...I am excited to read the link, I haven't done that yet. Hugs to you, so glad you made it through a long haul rough patch, garden, farm, 1,000 acres...however long it was or felt...You are more compassionate because of what you have been through. Sometimes that seems like it is not enough of a "reason" to go through all of it...but as time continus and more time/distance from that difficult period of time, more and more good things because of it will be revealed. <br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts.<br /><br /> I wanted to tell you I nominated you for the Leibster Award today!

We never ever know what another person has been thru, and what has made them what they are. Anyhoo, I still can't wait for you to get to our neck of the woods, so to speak :)Teresa@1800 Farmhouse Rdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07683992477275533844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1635195964977876647.post-19574310765421771352013-03-22T15:00:07.708-07:002013-03-22T15:00:07.708-07:00Well of coarse you have me all suspicious now, and...Well of coarse you have me all suspicious now, and I have never heard of The Brave Girls Club??

I have twin girls...Hi Amber, The boys are precious. I have twin girls, probably older than you honey. When they were born they had birth defects. Karen had only the first joint of each finger on her left hand. She has become a strong woman because of it, I believe. Lizzy had turned in feet, but her defect was corrected with cast and corrective shoes while learning to walk. We feel blessed. We do have to keep plugging along to be come stronger. God has been good to us. You are in my prayers. xoxo,SusieSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425051654313691986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1635195964977876647.post-25716028989792821272013-03-22T11:53:57.921-07:002013-03-22T11:53:57.921-07:00Amber, I'm so sorry for whatever it is that yo...Amber, I'm so sorry for whatever it is that you are going thru/coming out of. I'm happy to hear that your boys are healthy. I love BraveGirls. I read my daily email and it really can change my perspective and turn me in the opposite direction. Whatever it is, just keep going. I know it's so hard to feel like you will make it out of horrible and challenging circumstances. But, you will. I did, and I never thought our lives would be happy again. You'll get there. Just trust it, amazing girl!<br />Hugs, TinaTina@WhatWeKeephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784869477053139668noreply@blogger.com
