A New Day!

Oh, January....
A new year, filled with new possibilities. Everyone is motivated and excited, ready to make some changes in their lives, ready to do better and be better than they were last year.
 
But then February comes...and many people find themselves falling back into the same old habits, the same old routine. The motivation is gone, the excitement of a new year is gone. Many will give up and think, "Well, I failed on that resolution...maybe next year."
 
But the thing is, it doesn't take a new year to make a change. EVERY single day you get that chance! Each day is another chance to do better, whether it's with our health, our finances, our attitude, how we treat others, or our relationship with God.
 
It doesn't matter what you did yesterday, how bad you messed up, or the mistakes you made, because every day you get a new chance and an opportunity to do better.  Every day you wake up is a fresh start. Don't waste it! Don't be a "tomorrow" person. Take action and make the change TODAY.
 
And you don't have to rely on your own strength. Let God help you; let God renew your mind and control your thoughts; let Him transform you and make you into the person He created you to be. With His strength and power, you CAN change.
 
Psalm 105:4
"Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!"
 
Romans 12:2
"Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let
God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think."
 
 You don't need a new year, or a new month, or a new week to make a change.
All you need is a NEW DAY.

People always said That time would heal the pain But how can that be When mine still remains? The tears still fall At just the thought of you So I know that what they say Just can't be true As the years go by I miss you so much still  No matter how much time passes I know I always will How are you not here To ease my hurting heart? Never could I have imagined We would ever be apart My world has been shattered A piece of me is gone And all I can do is pray For strength to live on I know that one day soon I will see you again I just have to try to suffer through And make it until then

Putting My Heart Out There

Hey guys. Here's where we're at right now: Matt finished his radiation treatments last week. Did they help? I don't know. He's sleeping a lot more. Having trouble chewing and swallowing. Not eating much. Not talking much, at least not in full sentences. It's just been a slow, steady decline for the last few months. I think it was really too late for radiation....But who knows, maybe it is delaying things. We went in last Tuesday for his infusion and talked with his neuro-oncologist about everything that we've been seeing with Matt, and he decided that we're at the point now where we should discontinue treatments...I feel like it's the right decision, even though it breaks my heart knowing that there is nothing else we can do. But I feel like we've done everything. All the supplements, the diet, the chemo, the radiation... Matt has fought hard. He never gave up hope. He kept the faith. He never complained through any of this. Not once did I hea...

Why?

Why? Why do I care so much?  Why do I make sure they brush their teeth at night so that they don't get cavities? Why do I spend my own money to buy them clothes, toys and decorate their rooms, among other things?  Why do I do 5,000 loads of laundry a week to make sure they have clothes to wear to school? Why do I make sure they go to church on Sundays so that they'll be raised to know about Jesus? Why do I try to give them chores and responsibilities so that they will turn out to be decent human beings? Why do I read them a bedtime story at night, even when I'm exhausted? Why do I clean up after them constantly and cook for them and try to always have healthy snacks and food on hand? Why do I go to their sports games and practices, just to feel like the odd man out standing there awkwardly with their bio mom? Why do I give 100% of myself and make so many sacrifices for children I didn't birth? Only to be insulted and told hurtful things? To be made to feel like I'm ...
