Red Tin Heart..

Tuesday, September 25, 2007

I took this photo a few weeks ago. And it is where I am at today, runny mascara and red nose. I am trying so hard to be positive but I have been so down the last 2 days. I am overwhelmed. ~nita~

You are so positive, I know you can make it through this.. God does not give us more than we can handle....my thoughts are with you and your family......; September 25, 2007 at 7:22 PM

Blondie ~ Vintage Primitives said...: Hebrews 12:3, "Think of Him and consider Him so that you may not grow weary and faint in your mind."

It is so easy to glibly speak positive words in an attempt to cheer one up. Your battle is now seen. Your metamorphosis is the daily renewing of yourself. For YOURSELF. I really wish I could be there to help you through this, Nita.
Arms around you; holding up your arms much as Aaron did for Moses.
Prayers said for you and John.

Anonymous said...: When I lost my parents I felt horrible. Constant caretaker, watcher of all things in their lives. It was overwhelming to say the least. Crying, depression, you name it. But everyday I got up, put one foot in front of the other and just, knew. There was just me...for two people I'd do anything to have back, I just..did it, day after day, year after year. One night, I was on the patio with a coffee, trying to get some quiet time, when I looked up into the dark sky, and saw the most beautiful star I'd ever seen in my life. Huge, sparkly...and for some reason I knew I was not alone...really knew it. I promised I wouldn't let Him down. Drank the rest of the coffee, put a smile on my face, and moved on. Thats been 6 yrs ago now. You'll see "your" star. I promise! Lots of hugs, love and light coming your way sweetie.; September 26, 2007 at 10:33 AM
blessings said...: Some years ago I started noticing cardinals at the most odd moments... as I was going into the courthouse in the middle of custody issues, when I looked out the window of the counselors office as he sat talking alone with my 4 year old son... seemed to be at the times I was feeling the most vulnerable and fearful. I began to pray each time I saw a cardinal and thank God for the reminder that He's always there. He didn't leave me to sit alone in the waiting room of that counselor's office. He didn't leave me when my oldest son nearly died. He didn't leave me when I had home nurses, physical therapists, tutors and daycare children in and out of my home everyday for a year. There were cardinals all the time! I've come to have immediate peace when I see a cardinal now because to me it's an outward reminder of God's continual presence. Start looking for that thing to be your cardinal. I assure you, God's hand is holding you and John and your family! I have to remind myself sometimes... "Think on these things..."

Lee Weber said...: take some time to regroup. breathe. cry. and then go on when you are ready. Email me if you need to!!; September 26, 2007 at 12:46 PM
Unknown said...: As Amy said - it's OK to cry - in fact it's good for you to cry and get those feelings out. Pound a pillow, do whatever you need to get your feelings out and then draw a deep breath and know tomorrow will be different. Not necessarily better but there is always that hope. And if not tomorrow then the next day. ((((((Nita))))))))))))))

katherine. said...: I am sending you prayers...and hugs.

(and by the way...we can see the laundry in the background....smile); September 26, 2007 at 6:03 PM
Mary said...: Sometimes we can't see anything good because we get overwhelmed with sadness and hopelessness. The good will prevail and if you read this now, I'll bet your day is better. At least I wish that for you.

I'm keeping you in my prayers, Nita, that a litle something uplifts you from despair. Have your hugged a puppy or kitten lately?

Big Hugs to you,
Mary; September 26, 2007 at 6:12 PM
