I have been on quite the emotional roller coaster lately. Soaring highs and crashing lows…
Low: writing out “my story” to share with my girls which means reliving some difficult and even horrifying memories.
High: quitting my job!
High: having my girls over to share my story and to bond more. [update & photos on this coming soon!]
Devastatingly Low: a phone call from a family member that turned our world upside down. I flew out the next day to be with family and spent the next 4 very emotional days with them. Christopher drove through the night to be with us which was a huge blessing. [this is why I haven't updated much lately]
High: we left family on our anniversary day to go straight to Destin. It was really difficult to bounce from worry and heartache straight to celebration. But I am glad that we went. I didn’t realize just how much I needed that time with my sweet husband. [definite update on this coming soon as well]
We are home now. Arrived yesterday evening. After 9 days away, it is so good to see this sweet guy:
Much has happened lately and I want to update you guys on everything so bear with me as it may take some time to get it all out. Like several days, haha! With all that happened with my family this week I have realized just how amazingly blessed I am to be married to my Christopher. He is such a good man and I am so thankful for him.
When my world is shaking, Heaven stands. When my heart is breaking I never leave Your hands. Your hands that shape the world are holding me, they hold me still…
you’re in my thoughts and prayers, Rach. Sounds like quite the emotional roller coaster you are definitely so blessed to have such a wonderful dedicated husband.
Oh, I hope things are all worked out now! God is in control. =)
I’m praying for you, Rach! Love that song, and it pops into my mind often. Take your time – we’re not going anywhere
(((hugs)))
I’m sorry life has been such a roller coaster! I hope things settle down soon. Hang in there, beautiful
I hope everything will be okay, often it all comes at once! Stay strong!
you’ll be in my prayers sweet girl! hope everything is okay.
Oh no! I’m glad that you have Christopher to help you through everything, and I’m glad that you can look to Jesus, too!
Oh I am so sorry you have had a tough time lately! I love your attitude about it and that you included “highs” too. It doesn’t hurt to have Oreo greet you too I bet
Keeping you and your family in my prayers… After everything, I am glad you were able to take some time away with Christopher.
I am so sorry to hear about the lows
But I can’t wait to read your story. I have been thinking about posting something personal about my past too, but haven’t quite gotten there yet. I love how Blogland helps us to form real friendships by being vulnerable and talking about our struggles/hardships. So happy that you have such an amazing husband as a solid support system! Praying for you love!
Reading your job quitting post, I was ironically stretching my back! My neck/shoulders/back and butt! always hurt sitting here forever. So glad you were able to quit. Best wishes for you and your family. I hope everything’s ok. Lows are always so hard.
I’m so sorry to hear about your lows… I can just imagine how wonderful it must feel being back home. You’re in my prayers, Rach!
