Oh Internet, what a day I had yesterday. I woke up around 4:30am with a tragic incident that I will never forget. I will not share what happened on my blog as its mentally horrifying. As my day kept going and images and sounds still seeping out I had to turn to my Lord. Jared and I prayed together and I prayed little prayers in my head through out the day. Time will pass and hopefully the memories of what happened will go away. Mama says the more I talk about it and get it out of my head the easier it will be. Mama knows best right?
Weeding out the bad and ugly. Life is like a garden. We have beautiful clean dirt to mold into any form that we wish for it to become. Whether we choose for it to be a simple clean design or an extravagant masterpiece that will turn numerous heads as they drive by. Only we can mold and work to develop our design. But weeding out the bad and ugly. When we have finished our design, the flowers are beautiful, healthy and look so wonderful and all we can see and focus on are the weeds that are growing and sprouting out below. We then hyper focus on the ugly weeds which make them stand out even more! But life is so similar in the fact that we WILL have weeds to dig up and out of our garden. But, we need to stay focused on the beauty that is above the weeds or else we’ll miss the wonderful essence of what our garden is truly about.
I dug up some weeds yesterday, threw them in the garbage and shut the lid. Today I will only be focusing on the beauty of what my life has become and the blessing the Lord has given to me.
Thank you to Jen from Bella Laccio Bridal for making my afternoon turn completely around. Another big thanks to Stephanie with Novia Distinctive photography for making me the most wonderful healthy cookies ever! These two women are so beautiful inside and out.
