Y’all - I’m heavy burdened
I don’t think it’s a surprise to anyone who reads this on occasion - but the mood here at Live Laugh Blog has changed drastically. I’m not sure if it’s this lovely IUD that it making me on the verge of an emotional break down or if it’s the sin in my life that is causing me such grief.
But I feel like I’m about to fall off the tight rope and I don’t see a net below.
While I realize this sounds very dramatic, and I’m not one to try to be that way, I just am really feeling at a loss lately. So maybe just writing it out will help some? Who knows.
Without going into great detail - or any - my marriage is suffering and I’m mostly to blame. With the stress of Little Sister’s health and the hole I feel in my heart - I really feel like I’m hanging on by the skin of my teeth. And if y’all haven’t noticed - there’s no skin on teeth.
I’m hesitant to say too much, to share too much, because what’s going on in my life right now affects other people and I don’t think it’s my job to share their pain too.
But I will ask for prayer and I will ask for guidance. Because, y’all, I’m at a loss right now.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28

I just want you to know my #1 opinion…Your family is beautiful, your family is a gift. Your marriage is a gift and it CAN be beautiful. It’s totally worth fighting for. This post is that 1st step. Now, it’s up to you to put a plan into action and FIGHT FOR it! I know you are capable of it Jill. I’d be happy to have lunch…to pray with you…to watch your kids so that you and J can spend some constructive quality time together to work at it.

I am and have been praying for you Jill. You know what God wants you to do, and it will be difficult, but the end reward will be far greater. I know a little about this from personal experience with my parents. Anytime you want to talk, or if there is anything you need any of us to do, you have tons of friends who are ready and willing to help.

Absolutely you are in my prayers. Many hugs being sent your way as well.

I will be praying for you and your marriage.
I know that you did not go into much detail, but you did take the majority of the blame and responsibilty for it troubles, and I commend you for doing that. Many times it’s hard to admit that there are problems, and realzing that you are the big part of it’s troubles is big in itself. All I can say is kuddo’s to you for doing that.
Again not knowing what is going on, I encourage you to fight for your marriage. You are blessed and have what so many do not have. You have a supportive husband, beautiful girls, and a marriage that has been built on a Christian foundaton.
When it gets hard and you feel that there is no way out, imagaine how hard it will be when you have no marriage left to fight for and your girls are left heart broken and left in a broken home.
Sorry didn’t mean to get long and wordy, it’s important to save your marriage. Get counseling, together as a couple and also counseling as individuals. You can do this! Call me anytime you need to. Love ya!

I will be praying y’all Jill. I know that you can make it through this with the strong faith you have. I agree with the advice to get counseling, it’s a brave step and very worth your marriage. I wish I still lived just a few miles away to help more! ((Hugs))

We are praying for you and your sweet family. It is so easy to take our blessings for granted or to let relationships fall to the side of the road in the rush of life. Take all of your time, energy, and strength and put it into your MARRIAGE. Your family will be blessed for it. I know that with God’s help you can turn this around! I love you and I am here for you ANYTIME!

Don ‘t give up, lady and I just prayed for you.

Jill, I have been praying so hard for you and your marriage. It is worth fighting for. Sometimes we don’t realize what God has blessed us with until it is gone. I really don’t like being this far away and all this going on, but just remember I am always here and one phone call away. Love you and will continue to pray that God will guide you and show you what you need to do.

(((hugs)) just wanted to send that to you today…and let you know that your loved….
The bigger the attacks on our life, the bigger the blessings that are in store for us. Let us keep our eyes on the Lord and NOT the attacks..From personally experience..the more I keep my eyes on the ‘attacks’, the longer I stay in them. Stay in the trials, the burdens, the heaviness. The more I keep my eyes on Christ, Christ says and DOES..”I will give you rest.”EVEN in the midst of the struggles…
blessings precious one.
