First Blog...emotions!

It's Friday...and I have decided to create a blog. 

There is enough going on in my life right now that I must write it all down

or I may forget where I was on this day and what was happening that

is so bittersweet!!!

I am learning to take the bitter with the sweet!

Some days, like today...I have cried a river it seems.  And it just won't stop.  God made our emotions and wow are they ever all over the place sometimes!  But the most important thing I have learned thanks to a dear friend, is to embrace emotions. To accept them as part of who I am.  It's ok!

IT'S SWEET....

My baby Leanna is a bride-to-be. Her special day is January 2, 2010.  The emotions I feel about this, every day...are over the top.  I love her with all of my being, and I have always wanted the very best for her and have prayed that God would bless her life and that she would be obedient to Him and carry out whatever it is that He has designed for her.  He has brought an incredible loving prince into her life whom she will be one with in just a few weeks.  I cannot tell you just how my heart feels...planning for this most wonderful day, making decisions, picking out her most favorite beautiful flowers, listening to music that is a window to her soul, remembering what makes her smile and just what she dislikes...  :-)  Putting together her very own special invitations for her dear family and friends....oh the special sweet memories we share together!!!

IT'S BITTER....

 I don't like the taste of letting her go.

For 22 years she has been my precious daughter. 

 Mine to love unconditionally, to nurture, to comfort, to communicate with, to teach, to play with, and to give her whatever she needs to be everything for God.

God created her so marvellously and wonderfully ...how could I not let her go!!!

Because, I am her Mama...and she will always be my baby!

A new Season of life is here....and I thought I loved change.

I find that it isn't as I thought it would be.
