What NOT to do on Mother's Day Weekend....

I went to the doctor on the Friday before Mother's Day and that probably was not what I should have done.   My mind became fixated on what the doctor told me, rather than what I believed in my heart.  It felt like a set up; as if i was being lifted up high just to be dropped.  Needless to say, I landed hard.  This journey has ups and downs.  God has been faithful and I have mostly been up, but on the rare occasions that I've been down, I learned a few pick-me-up lessons:

1. Answer your phone...people are calling because  they care
2.  Sing.  No matter how you're feeling, a good Gospel song can help
3. Think of others.  There are other people who have been on your journey longer then you, think of their pain, and pray for their joy
4. Feel like crying, than cry. Sometimes you just need to release the bad news through tears
5. Remember everything is just a season.  No matter how gray, how cloudy, how dark it may look today, the season will change
