I am sure that you are all familiar with the saying “the Lord never gives you more than you handle.” Well I am her to tell you than even on those days when you thing you have reached the breaking point. That this is it and you are ready to end it all God has a way of showing you the light.
There have been many times when I have thought I just can’t take it anymore but then something else will happen and I think “enough already”
But just in that moment when I am at the bottom of the barrel and rest to throw in the towel God reached out his hand and pulls me to my feet.
There have been a few days this past week when I thought I was done and was not coming back over here any more. Then there was that tug that just won’t let go of me. Something that says even if only one person ever visits this site it is all I need.
So this week as you leave your prayer request please take a moment to say a little prayer for me. Pray that I can find the peace I am searching for. I will be praying for each and every one of you!
I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

Rita ~ please know that you and your family and your extended blog family are in my prayers every day. I struggle with my Lupus both physically and mentally every day, so I understand exactly how you feel. Also, I just love this template!
Thank you so much Robin! That means the world to me. You and your family are always in my prayers as well. I am glad you love the template too. I was so excited when I discovered it and realized I could customize it the way I wanted.
Rita, I know how you feel. I think we all go through those periods where we are ready to throw in the towel. I am glad you have started this blog. I love the Blogtober series. It is great! Will you please say an extra prayer for me this week. I have a small day surgery coming up on Wednesday. Nothing major, I would just appreciate an extra prater sent my way. I will send one your way also. Hang in there.Thanks!
Tammy,
You are always in my prayers and I will light a candle for you this week. Thank you for all of your support. This blog is a work and struggle in progress but maybe that is how it should be.
I’ll be praying for you, Rita. I’ll pray for peace in your heart and discernment in your decisions.
As for me, this time of the year is HELL. November 18th is the date my eleven year old daughter Olivia passed away, then Thanksgiving, then Olivias bday on December 9. then Merry Christmas. Yeah, not so much.
Prayers for peace would be appreciated.
Wendy,
Thank you for your prayers. I will be praying for you as well. I know how hard the holidays can be when you have lost someone and to have their birthday right there as well makes it all the harder. They say that time heals the wounds but it doesn’t really, it makes a little more bearable and that is all. Time serves as a reminder for those left behind. I pray that God grants you comfort and peace during this most difficult time of the year.
Wendy,
I will say a prayer for you. I know how you feel. This month would have been my daughter’s 23rd birthday. I like to try and think of her as my Angel watching over me. I count my blessings for each day I had. It doesn’t get easier with time. It just gets more tolerable. Stay strong!
Hey Rita, I am also thinking of you and your tough days, the days you dont think you can hang on by your fingernails even just one more minute. I am sorry to hear of other’s sadness and loss. People just don’t know what to say sometimes, so they say nothing. I am here to say that maybe it’s not so much that he will not put too heavy a load on you that you cannot handle, but to maybe give you people in your life that can help you divide that pain and maybe take a few bricks off that load. I have been pretty lost, health issues with more questions than answers and not out of the house much. Feeling so guilty I can’t physically get up more and help, make meals, even check in on family or even bloggers I like to. My pain is nothing compared to some, and is everything some days. I hope for a lighter load of sadness, stress, pain, mistrust…fear… for you and for everyone here.
I meant HE…as in HE in capital form. HE.
Eileen,
You are always in my prayers. I know how tough things are for you and I pray that God grants you peace.
