Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries

But sometimes ya gotta deal with the pits.

Life has not been super awesome here right now. We have had a bit of bad luck, some minor set backs and all around not good times. I know God never gives bad gifts and the trials we are experiencing right now will help us as we continue our journey. I know He has a plan--a good plan.

But like taking the pit out of the cherry, these times really just plain stink. I am using every bit of energy in my core to be positive, to be strong, to be hopeful but I have those moments.....the times you just want to curl up and cry. I'm trying not to, but sometimes it's like a dam breaking and my tears just start flowing. I hate it.

I've been praying to quickly pass this time and move onto bigger, better things but (like a cherry pit) it's hard, really hard. I know there is so much going on and my problems honestly don't amount to a hill of beans but they are my problems and the hill of beans seems impassible at the moment. 

If you could please say a quick pray for my family-- to be strong and to get over this rough patch, it would mean so much to me. I am a firm believer in prayer. 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Now go out an enjoy some cherries--once you remove the pit, they are one of the sweetest, juiciest fruits out there!
