"so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ"
So, yes, I must admit that I am very upset about the status of Todd Gurley and the University of Georgia football team right now.
And yes, we have a stressful weekend coming up.
And this week was VERY stressful.
Yesterday, I had to pick Miles up from the sweet lady who keeps her, due to her bad behavior. I know, I know, she's three years old, three year olds go through this, I've heard it again and again.
But this child was not taught to behave badly. She has only been taught to treat her sister with love and adoration. "Love others, as I have loved you." Jesus' words are taught in our home.
I was devastated to hear how badly my daughter acted, and I'm just beside myself. With the help of my mama, and her grandmothers, and Sean, I am trying to decipher the best plan for Miles at this point.
Is this a test? I'm not sure.
I'm pretty open on this blog, and I try to be honest and forthcoming about EVERYTHING in my life, but there are some things that I do have to keep personal for my family's sake - at this point. I may, one day, be able to share all of my secrets, let you all know about all of my stressors....and ALL of my celebrations!
I've received the sweetest messages this week. From Facebook messages, to texts, to phone calls. One sweet lady even told me that she felt like God was "refining" me. Wow. Me, refined? That sounds so nice...so why not believe it?
The Grace. It's all there.
He is refining me. He is refining Miles. He is refining Sean. He is refining Maris (God bless her temper). And he even may be refining sweet Sunday!
This blog post is really just a thanks. A thank you to each of you who support me everyday with your prayers, your love, your messages. For those of you who believe that I am being refined in my struggles
And hopefully, with my next blog post, I can be a little more honest about what is happening in my life.
Today was a good day.
Humbly His,
L.
