I frequently remind myself and my kids that it is not wrong to ask questions, God is not afraid of questions, but what we need to do is turn towards our loving, good God in the questioning and not away from Him.

How can you let yourself out in a creative way today?

If you aren’t sure, don’t let it be stressful but an exciting adventure as you pursue the answer. Perhaps, go back to childhood memories of things you loved to do before it ever had to look a certain way...

  But somewhere along the way (actually at several somewheres) I knew God was showing me that He knew exactly what was in my heart, what would make me happy, and I needed to loosen the death grip I had on my dreams. He was asking me to keep my hands open with the desires of my heart.

   I've become (painfully aware) that I've lost my color. Well, I don't think it's too far gone- just a little buried and tweaked with time and changes. I GET TO choose my path and it will be the right one for me.

So, in the midst of my world being shaken and the worlds of those I love, I broke down. I felt so grieved that I started to come to the conclusion that it would be better to not feel any of it…to just stop caring…
