You can't take my joy, because you didn't give it to me

Do you know how painful it is to tell someone you love him and not hear him say it back?

My husband is my part of my greatest joys, so it doesn't feel like work or like I'm balancing anything. My husband and my kids absolutely come first, so work is just something where I figure out where it will fit.

My first priority is my children. If at any moment I put aside something that I want to do to be a better parent than that is more than okay for me.

In the only way that pain can be truly remembered, through a new pain.

You know, sometimes you have to remember the bad things so that you can learn from them.

I am a firm believer that God has already ordered the things that have taken place in my life...and I'm just learning to follow the path he's laid before me.
