Short but Sweet

I got my hair cut today, went to the fair, worked out and still haven't cleaned. I'll talk about that more later, but right now all I want to say is this:

Life is tough. It's tough when you feel alone. Sitting hear in bed tonight three things have come to my mind, 1) I miss my family and C Kay (that's pretty much an every night thing however), 2) I feel alone, and 3) impatience.

I have a hard time remembering two things:
1) That I'm not alone
&
2) to be patient with my husband.

However with both of these I have come up with two passages (that I need to post in my house, and will tomorrow.):

1) Psalm 23
1The LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
2He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
3He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness
For His name's sake.
4Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
6Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

God's with me; I am never alone. I forget this all the time, and it is something I need to always remember.

and

2) 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
4Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, 5does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, 6does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

There it is right there, Love is patient. I haven't been patient and that is my fault.

These are two things I really need to work on. After thinking about these things I feel happy that I am not alone, but sad that I have not been patient with my husband.

  1. Beth, this post just breaks my heart. I cannot even begin to imagine how strong you have been and all the pain you have and are going through. I will be praying for your precious heart and for Taylor. I think mourning the loss of your sweet baby is a good idea. And praise God for all the support and comfort you have through family and friends. A mommy lost her baby girl about a year ago and she talked about the song "Hold My Heart" by Tenth Avenue North. It's a great song and maybe could put into words what you're feeling. One day God will wipe all our tears away and that's a comforting thought.I love you so much and am here for you!!!!
