Blogging Through It

I have been blogging a lot lately, mostly to help me process whats been going on in our life. Its no big secret that we have suffered an emotional and physical loss and its certainly not hidden how I have felt about it. I have felt the need to blog about things just so I could process my emotions. Its easier and certainly less costly than seeing a therapist. Let me first of all just state that I'm by no stretch of the imagination against seeing a counselor, but for this I have felt that I could get through it with the support of my friends and family. I felt that by going to a therapist I would be wasting their time and resources when there were others that needed the help much more than myself. I have been in counseling enough to know that working through pain takes time and healing will not happen over night.

I have truly felt as though my blogging has helped me to process life in a way that few can do on their own. It has also allowed me to talk candidly about the life changes that have been occurring over the last six months. It has given me a voice and an a way to share with you my faith that by no uncertain terms has been tested. It is a struggle to be a Christian and Satin has a way of attacking us at our weakest. Its painful, but I am learning I am far stronger than I ever thought I was. I am learning to walk in a manner that is strong and pleasing to God.

I also want people to know that its okay to talk to me about what is going on in life. I have been blessed to have a few friends that have experienced similar events and they have talked openly to me about the struggles they have faced. They know the importance of talking to someone. Talking about it is what gets me through the day. Of course I am going to have difficult days, but truth be told those are the days I need my friends the most. So please don't be afraid to ask me how I am doing. Don't be scared to tell me you love me, and by all means please do not hold back.
