You know the expression when it rains it pours? Well, I am getting hail over here. I have been at the hospital spending time with a loved one who is in there. At this point, I find myself throwing my arms up to the skies and saying, "Seriously?! Come on!! Enough already." Then I remind myself that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, and it gets me through the day. So, once again, please excuse my lack of visits your way, while my dream life of eating crepes in France, shopping in fabulous little boutiques, and sunning myself along the French Riviera gets delayed. Posting may be sporadic for bit.
Thank you to everyone who entered the Endless Wardrobe giveaway! The lucky winner chosen by Random.org is: Adele of Into the Blonde. I know she'll rock whatever item she chooses!
I also want to give a big cyber hug to all of those who sent encouraging messages about my new foundation Project Strength. Thanks to everyone who place Project Strength buttons on their site to show support. If you would like a button, but need a different size, let me know I'll get you one. I am also going to make a button w/ a grab code when I have the time. If you have experienced verbal or physical abuse and would like to share your story anonymously on Project Strength let me know.
Stay tuned because I have another giveaway to be announced this week!
i am sorry to hear that you are dealing with even more difficulties, this really has been an exhausting year for you!

You CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens you ....and because of your update, I know how to pray! God will give you the strength you need this day. So sorry you are really under it....remain hopeful. I am praying now!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your loved one Debby. Sometimes it's worse being the friend/relative than being the patient - you feel so helpless.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited I won such a great giveaway. Thanks so much & thanks for your email.
Happy Thursday Debby xoxo

ReplyDeleteI couldn't get the button to work, obviously user error - as with so many things in my life. Will recruit daughter for help with it :)
PS - you can see the most stars when it is darkest.
ReplyDeleteDebby, I'm so sorry this time is so difficult. I know you'll get through it all right, but I also know the path right now is thorny, prickly, and downright frustrating. Can I do anything to help?
ReplyDeleteDebs, you are taking such a buffeting just now, it's ok to throw yourself down on the couch, have a good cry and shout out 'life's not fair', if nothing else, you'll sleep well afterwards - that's what usually helps me.
ReplyDeleteSweetie, you shall overcome. I know, life sometimes throws a lot of punches at us and you have to learn to roll with them punches. It WILL get better.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Nicole
Oh Debby....so sorry. Boy when things settle down and you finally get to indulge in something wonderful, be it a croissant, a trip or a shopping excursion..you are going to lap it up and enjoy and cherish every minute!
ReplyDeleteIts only when things hit rock bottom can we see the full picture when things are great, and I have no doubt that day will be in your future sooner than later. I see the light at the end of this dark tunnel for you. Know you have a lot of support here in blogland, people who really care about you.
Wishing you many days ahead filled with laughter, good times, celebration and new beginnings.......you deserve it all! Sending a great big hug!
Goodness Debby! I am so sorry that you have yet another issue to take care of. Try to squeeze in a little fun in you can. Your blog always looks so pretty despite your current state of affairs.
ReplyDeleteTake care and I'll send happy thoughts your way!
Sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear that you have a loved one in the hospital. I seemed to have missed your Project Strength post...that was probably the week I took off from blogging.
YES..you CAN DO ALL THINGS through CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS EACH ONE OF US. You will do it, you will be the light you are meant to be. Take courage, for "HE HAS OVERCOME THE WORLD."

Debby sending you hugs, prayers and positive energy. Stay strong my friend keep the faith, God never gives us more than we can handle and though we may not understand the detours that our earthly life is sent on - we need to remember each event in our life teaches us something and is part of our growth.
