finding courage.

finding-courage-21Although I see so many blessings in my life, some days I just want to wrap a feather comforter around me and hide away.  Anything from a difficult diagnosis to a bad hair day can make me feel overwhelmed. And it seems to hit out of nowhere.  I remember when David was born…

it’s my day to post at (in)courage.  you can read the rest of this post over here…

  1. So glad to have found your sight (also through Soulemama). I have a special child as well and there are those days I don’t know how to face it all. Thankfully, I don’t have to:) I just keep re-committing it all into the Lord’s hands. I’ll pray for your son and your unique journey with him.

  2. Thank you for sharing this – I have just today discovered your site (through Soule Mama) and have been amazed at your beautiful creations. I too was born with only two fingers on one hand (right) and a thumb, I won’t tell you my entire story, but I spent my whole childhood wanting to meet “someone like me” and never did. I have now, long, come to the place where I am no longer ashamed of my hand (am right handed and so it is visible a lot) and have come through not being able to look at my hand myself, to actually being comfortable showing it to those who ask. I am now a Mum with twin daughters and before that had a very successful career – I can testify to the positive side of my disability, as well as the tough times. Because of it, with God’s help, I am strong, determined and very empathetic. My Mum has come through feeling guilty – (there was never anything for her to feel guilty about). I do relate to wanting to hide away with a comforter sometimes too!

  3. AT least you’re wrapped in your comforter with the nicest pedicure in your feet!!! lol…
    I understand what you mean and also the only way for me to go ahead is to smile and… hide even more down my comforter…

  4. I totally feel you Lisa. Love the polished toes….my poor tootsies have not seen polish in a long time! 🙂

  5. I can definatley relate, about once a month actually! hmmmm…the best remedy, I found, is a glass of wine and a good movie, (once the kiddies have gone to sleep of course!).

  6. Exactly what I needed during my Monday morning lull! Thanks for sharing!

    Great to meet you two Sundays ago when I was greeting w/Susan…praying for your family while Pastor Steve is away!
