I get it. This year, I finally get it. I've had my share of rough times over the past few years but 2012 has by far been the roughest, most especially the last couple of months. I didn't sit around waiting with anticipation of the new year, no I was way to busy and focused on other tribulations to worry about what the new year was going to hold. It wasn't until well into January 1st that it hit me... the crap of 2012 is over... it's 2013, a new day, a new chapter in my life and it's up to me how it plays out. While I know there are things in life that I are beyond my control and without a doubt there will be trials and tribulations this year too... I can guarantee it. But I also know that because of the 2012 tribulations, the worse is over and I'm free to start a new. I hate starting over or starting out "new" but this time, it's ok. I'm ok... or at least I'll be ok. God brought me here via a strong blood line and we may falter from time to time but we don't give up and we sure as hell don't run. Look out 2013 and all that get in the way, cause this woman is standing strong and tall!
But what about my kids you may ask? Well they may not be quite as strong as their Momma, right now... and that's ok too cause I'm their Momma and I will be their strength. Of course that doesn't mean I don't have my fears, it doesn't mean they won't hurt, it doesn't mean a thousand tears won't be shed... however when this song starts playing on the radio and I hear this tiny little voice coming from my back seat start to sing "Bless the Lord oh My Soul..." - it was then that I knew they too would be ok... it's all going to be ok.
There is nothing sweeter than hearing the voice of a child singing praise to His name..
