I was up playing little miss hairdresser with my gorgeous friend Lani this morning, extremely early, helping her get pretty'fied for a wedding she was attending this afternoon. Then work all afternoon, home to rest were I was confronted with some information that pretty much made my heart break into a thousand different pieces!
News that effects not only myself, but my whole family. It's news that left me with a decision to make, a hard one! The kind of news that leaves a lump in your throat for the rest of the day and with absolutely no option but to keep it to myself until the time was right. If there ever is a right time to talk about it...
Anyway: I have never been in a situation like this before and it definitely caught me off-gaurd! Having no clue what to do or say. How to act or how to feel...
One of the million different, most amazing things about God is that he twists absolutely every 'not so great' situation and changes it into a lesson or a memory or a growing experience, that you eventually, maybe not straight away, but eventually treasure most.
Today in the midst of all the crazyness and mixed emotions, I had a really simple but extremely significant realisation of how important family really is. I mean I always knew... I appreciated and acknowledged how blessed I was to have a supportive, loving, amazing family!!! I always knew they were the most important thing in my life... But today i just thought about every single reason WHY they are the most important thing!
I love my family more than I could ever attempt to type! I love them in the most amazingly funny times, in the memory making times, in the really sad times, in times when they may do or say things they probably shouldn't... I love them.
In spite of everything.
And even though times are a little rougher than usual right now, in the middle of what seems like a pretty decent mess... I know and acknowledge that I'm blessed!! :) and no matter what happens! Everything will be ok, because God has it!
Be blessed guys, and know that no matter what ever happens...
Every black cloud has a silver lining, every down has its up, every glass can be half full, even 3 quarters full if you choose to see it that way.
Know that there is a Heavenly Father standing there with arms wide open, waiting for his precious child, his best friend, to just stop for a second and run to Him so He can give you a massive hug, look you in the eyes and tell you 'everything will be ok!' :)
