Today, it was like the sermon was directed right at me. It felt strong and put me a little more at peace with the world and my situation.
Funny how a sermon does that. For last couple months it feels like pastor has been talking directly to me. Make sure to keep going and bring your D with you as much as possible. My D7 told me that Jesus will give us strength and we'll get through this. Made me so happy/ proud when she said it, made me cry later that night when I thought about it again. I'm so grateful my kids have that religious background to get strength from.

That's a good way to think about it.

Here's another thing we need to remember. Make sure to continue to GAL and start making yourself happy. It's not always easy but when I think about my kids being the ones to benefit it makes me want to get on with my life and start being truly happy.

Great advice hear. My W's LL is Acts of service but her second is WoA and it's a very tough one to do in our current environment. I wish I would have thought about it this way. I was doing the cheerleading thing for a little while and it just didn't feel right so I stopped. When timing is right I'll try more this approach.
