Getting Real...

Hey, it's Amy, and I get the pleasure of being your regularly scheduled Friday blogger. Daniel and I originally planned on me trying to post a couple times per week but we had to reaccess the situation and take another approach when I started feeling overwhelmed...life has gotten so busy lately that I had to ask for help.

Speaking of help, I must confess that I find it really hard to let people "in" when I'm struggling or need support of some sort. More than anything, I hate to feel like I'm a burden to anyone - even in the little things! Going to Daniel to ask for support with the blog was a great decision and took a huge load off my heart and mind!

I've found that being honest with people about where you are at is always the best policy! Even better is being real with God about what you are thinking and feeling! Personally, I have days where I talk to the Lord and I say to Him, "Really? Seriously? I don't get you..." and I have other days where I go before Him in awe of who He is and what He's done in my life. Every now and then, I can finally see all of the puzzle pieces that have fallen into place and it all seems to make sense. I've learned there are times to just be honest and tell Him you are struggling and times when we need to take the time to praise Him for what He has done for us!

I hope you have a lot of reasons to praise Him right now! Can you think of any? Or if you're are struggling today...find someone who will pray with you (I will!)...or just sit down and talk to God. Tell Him what your needs are, what your questions are, what your hurts are. I can assure you that He doesn't expect perfection...or He would have been finished with me a looooong time ago. I honestly believe there is nothing He wants more than YOU right where you are at!

Happy Friday!
