smile among tears

I had a rough day yesterday (Tuesday) and I was very frustrated and at my ends. I was loading Blake up in his car seat and as I was doing so I was crying. I looked at Blake with tears down my cheeks and as I was looking at him he smiled such a big smile as if to say...mommy it's going to be okay. It brought my sadness to a smile. It reminds me of how Jesus looks at me when I am sad...he looks at me and smiles as if to say....I love you Sharon, don't worry, it's going to be okay!

Lord, Thanks for the gentle reminder that amidst my worries in life and amidst my fears and doubts you look at me with love and smile upon me letting me know you are in control and everything will work out!

You will make it! Whatever you are stressed and worried about, God can and will take care of. But the hardest part is giving it all over to Him. I struggle with that a lot.

I still pray for you everyday! Love yah!

It is amazing how intuitive babies can be. I know when I am crying, Kayla looks at me like she knows something isn't right, even though she doesn't understand emotions yet! Their smiles do take all the sadness away:-) When I am worrying about life I read Philippians 4:6-9.

I, like Lana, remember those same moments and feel like I'm not ready for them again..... I'm so sorry it was a tough day.
