Hit By A Wave

Asking for help, prayer or support does not come easy for me. I think I should be strong, prepared and a pillar of faith. But I am not…..

This summer began as usual anticipating fun days, time off, short trips, relaxation and no worries. It was like a much anticipated beach day; cooler weather, sand between my toes, the sound of surf, a good book and an order of nachos.

Instead it is ending up traumatic. I FEEL like while wading in the refreshing water, I’ve been hit by a wave and knocked down in the wild surf. Bumped, slammed and pounded around I can’t find my way out. I don’t know where up is. And I’m running out of air…

I am sad, fearful, and angry. I cry, feel alone and hopeless. And the worse part? I feel guilty for feeling any of those things.

Although I know that none of that is true, when I am in the midst of turmoil, heartache and instability it’s difficult to see clearly. I need your help.

So, my friends I am asking…..Could you please pray?

·       For me.
·       For me and Don.
·       For our kids and grandkids.
·       For our company.
Thank you in advance.

You know that I relate to not wanting to ask for prayer and not wanting to appear needy. Thank you for your courage in posting this, it challenges and encourages me. Love youi!
