The Five of Us, Spring 2014
Feeling Better
Feelings are such fickle things! Self-pity, on the other hand, is one of the most alluring pits of hell I've ever seen! There are many sins that don't really threaten me, but self-pity is one that never ceases to tempt me.
Thank you all for your support yesterday. Writing it out helped. I also came to realize before the Lord that I don't need to know today what the future of my family will be. Today is not the day I need to decide anything or to do anything. When that day comes, then, I'm confident that the direction will be there. But, today's not that day. I can rest in that and peace is largely restored.

Talk To Me
I blog for myself and my kids and I would do it even if no one else cared, but I do like to hear from you (and think it's a wee bit creepy of you to voyeurize us without my knowing it). So, please leave a comment from time to time, or email me anytime at xawilsons@hotmail.com. Much obliged, I'm sure.
