Dang!

Really? February 24th already!! Where has the time gone? Back in the Fall of 08 when I started this blog I was stumped on what to name it. I wanted something simple. After some thought "Just Love" came to me. It is simple, but has a whole lotta meaning. Know what I mean? It takes a lot to just love people. There is a lot of forgiveness & compromising that goes along with it. And when you are a redhead, hard headed, stubborn, southern, outspoken, etc... woman that is hard. But, it is especially hard when you have to figure out how to "just love" yourself. The control freak in me comes out and it makes it hard. You know, the "I can do everything myself" attitude takes over and I forget about the only One that can truly handle everything - God!! I have been running from him for about 3 weeks now and last night I had a heart-to-heart with him and spilled my guts - again - and finally turned everything over to him. He is the only one that can handle everything that has gone on in my life the last 2 years. So, today I feel renewed, refreshed, and alive again. Such a great feeling!! I pray for all marriages in America and around the world to be revived - to have the woman and man realize that it is a covenant with God, not a contract. Contracts are too easily broken, marriages should not be. If you pray, please lift up my marriage to God. We are definitely on our way to having a stronger marriage than either one of us could have dreamed of, not easy, but definitely worth it.
