Hard Day
Today has been just that...a very hard day. I'm not sure what's more painful, looking back to the past 5 years of my life and realizing it was all a lie or looking forward and seeing the road filled with valleys, jagged rocks and loneliness at every bend. I know I have a hope. I know I have a future. I know I will not be alone... and I am so grateful to be here rather than still living the lie, but it doesn't make the road any less painful. It hurts more today than it did 2 weeks ago today. Is the shock wearing off or have I taken my eyes off the Lord? Pray for me that I will not despair. Pray that I will have strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow.

Praying now ... my dear friend! It takes time to mourn, so gon't be discouraged! Our Lord is sufficient for your every step you take on this journey! Don't be deceived, He is the truth - you are His bride ... continue to look to Him!
thank you
Tamra,
I am praying for you! I don't even know what to tell you... You are going to have hard days, but I am so glad to see that you are being open about it and not keeping things bottled up inside. I love you!

Oh Tamra, I wish I was there to hug!!!!! you and just let you cry...it's okay to do that, you know! You are mourning a great loss...someone you loved has "died" to you...you've discovered that he's not the person you thought he was...of course that hurts!! I am hurting with you and keep looking back wondering if there was more we could've done. I'm sure your thoughts are so much more complex than mine...
Thank you for talking to "us" and letting us in. But, even when we aren't here to listen you can curl up in your heavenly Father's lap and cry your eyes out to Him. He will answer you and comfort you like none of us can...afterall, He's our only comfort as well.
You are so loved,
Min
Tamra--
This was meaningful to me on my "road"... Well, it still is.
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, Tamra, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.
I need to memorize the WHOLE thing in order, not all fragmented ;)
I'm praying for strength for your hard days. I should have done that with you tonight--I'm sorry I missed that chance.
