Light in the Darkness Surrounded by Love with Hope for those in need.

Things haven’t been right in a while.  There have been struggles … lots of struggles … and happiness?   That seems like something in the past that will never return again, or if it does, it will only be for a fleeting moment.

Don’t you think it’s time for a change?

Isn’t it time to return the heartache and pain in exchange for joy and love in our hearts once again?

TURN THE PAGE!

Turn

Only … allow it to be better this time than ever before.  While the sins of the past have been repented of and forgiveness given by God’s grace, let’s put it all behind us.  Cast the hurt and pain aside.  Write it all down and burn the pages if you must, but rid yourself of all that has been tagging along stealing your joy, happiness, and intimate moments with your family.  Anger has no place here, neither does destruction.

It’s time for new beginnings.  For a fresh start.

The pages of the book are crisp and clean … white … just waiting for you to write the next chapter of our lives together.

Begin writing a new chapter, focusing on our happily ever after!

A New Chapter

 

I want my happily ever after.

And it starts … right now.

 

Happily Ever After

Feeling Like I Lived

Today marks 21 years I have lived without my sister.  Desperation and depression took her from me.  She was only 32 years old. Every year I think I can get by without it affecting me.  This “tender day” of July 9th shouldn’t hold such agonizing memories for me, yet on the way to the wildflower […]

    I love this one today. One of my favorite quotes is:
    No one can change their past,
    But any one of us can start today
    and change the ending of our own story.

    Thank you for sharing your words today.
