August 11th:
Here I am, awake prior to the crack of dawn... the days and mornings like this are many but it's always been helpful to bear in mind that it won't always be like this.
It's difficult for anyone to wrap their head around what happens in your life unless they're going through it with you. I know people often wonder or make judgements about our lives or our challenges and it used to bother me. It used to bother me that it felt like no one understood. It's been difficult to maintain some semblance of normal while caring for Lily-at all hours of the day and night but if we make a commitment and don't follow through, it wasn't an excuse, were probably exhausted from not sleeping or haven't stopped moving since who knows when.
It's completely on another persons conscience to judge another person. It's on them. That's why it says in the bible that whatever measure you judge others that same measure will be used unto you. It's just best we don't act like we know. Or question the decisions of others, we never know the full story.
I think it's kinda funny... I often find myself leaving the house in lounge clothes because I'm so used to being on the ready for Lily- even when I'm not with her. It's as though I'm on a permanent un-vacation. Yoga pants, t-shirts or tanks and flip flops, at least for this time of year- I'm really not looking forward to all those extra clothes! But sometimes the looks I get, it makes me laugh, sometimes I must look like such a bum! Haha... I really don't care. My family knows our story and we love each other and that's all that matters. God will surely give me the strength to get through the day and satisfy the needs of others but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm gonna look salon good everyday! Ha.
Be blessed in your journeys all, even if you don't look like a knockout while doing it. Sometimes love gets a little ugly...
