Right now my heart is hurting. I’m trying to decipher what is guilt and remorse. I’m not sure at this point.
I’m convicted – I know that.

Last night I learned that an old friend of mine from high school was arrested in a drug bust. We’ll call her *Suzy*. She’s a mom. Though I’ve never seen her be a mother, something tells me she is a great one. I remember her heart – she had a big one. When I heard the news, flashbacks of our last day of “friendship” went through my mind and I could feel the stabbing pains in my heart.

Sometimes we take her for granted. Ok – more than sometimes, especially as little rugrats without complete understanding of what it means to hurt another’s feelings.
But then you grow older and this appreciation you’ve always known existed deep inside starts to work its way up to a more active level.
I love my mom and sometimes I don’t always tell her. I’m not showing my appreciation for her today because it’s almost Mother’s Day, that’s just an added bonus. I recognize her today because God has shown me just how truly blessed I am.

I had a friend who was deeply in love with her boyfriend. In fact, they were engaged to be married. They’d been together since high school and were inseparable. It was no surprise to anyone that a wedding was in the future. Then, things changed.
He wasn’t sure he was in love anymore. He needed some time to think about things. There was too much pressure. He left her house that night, saying goodbye as he walked past the unopened box of wedding invitations. He was confused and she was devastated.
The good news? His feelings lied to him and he knew the truth. They reconciled and are now married. There’s a lesson in this story. Sometimes we have to separate from the things we love in order to make sure what we want is really what we want.
I’m guest posting over at Single Roots today. Check out the rest of the post there.

That’s right, I said it.
I Quit!
Two weeks ago I took a step back to figure out what reality was. In the midst of my raging hormonal episode I couldn’t figure out what the purpose was of everything I had going in my life. Was I wasting time? Was I doing too much? What was I actually doing?
I seriously wanted to know what the crap was happening!

What happens when I don’t have the words to put into a blog post? You get the nitty gritty of a not-so-great moment in my life. Here goes it:
May I be raw and just lay it out?

I’m not in the mood for people…
My heart hurts and I’m not dealing with it like I should…
This headache is on my nerves…
