Late Night Confessions

Its been awhile since i've had a chance to sit on the couch and talk. We've been hanging at the younger brothers house; us married folks with babies abound. Just chillin, talkin, & eating. We throw in a movie every now and then. So most nights lately by the time we get home, the kids are fast asleep and I try to catch up on the house and then crash and burn.

I must confess I am pleased with what has transpired over the last few weeks with the relationship I have with my younger brother and my sister-in-law. We have all come to understand a little bit more about humbleness and understanding give and take. Sometimes when your going through challenges, its the take part you struggle with. You never want to feel like a burden. But I know its all in cycles. Sometimes you give and sometimes you take. And its never in vain and its never by your own hand in either case. God works through you to be a blessing and he certainly works through others to be a blessing to you in return. And sometimes He picks people who you NEVA thought would be the ones. Ones who help you to grow...again.

I've had plenty of those. My ex was one to help me to grow in leaps and bounds. By all accounts he wasn't supposed to. My husband and being married has challenged me to grow. And my brothers (at least two of em) have really helped me to grow another inch. In a good direction. (cuz heaven forbid we talk about growing sideways...ha)

Anyway its late and i'm SUPER tired and I think i'm starting to talk nonsense. Bottom line is I am thankful for the challenges i've had. They stopped feeling like challenges after the first day though. That's a good sign. So instead of learning to deal with loss, I am learning to appreciate gain.
