Driving home today, the song from For King and Country, God only knows starts playing. I love this band and they can put on an amazing concert. Their songs always seem to touch me and my life. This song is no different.
"God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows the real you
There's a kind of love that God only knows"
Do you find yourself in a struggle? Not knowing if you can get through it? Well, I am hear to tell you that you can! I get through struggles a lot. It seems like my life is one big struggle at times then other times I think I got it too good. Do you have a fear of covid? Worried about your kids? Worried about a diagnosis? Wanting children but having a hard time right now? Kids going off to college? Getting married? Your kids getting married!?
You can get through it!
I have had many struggles through out my 50+ years ( I will never tell!) of life and I have no doubt that I will have more. It only makes me stronger and smarter. What I have found is that I have to remain positive throughout the struggles. I have to find the good in that struggle and imagine me coming out on the other side, a winner, a survivor.
One that stands out is with my kids. I have twins and they are now 23! I always wanted kids and it was a struggle for me to get pregnant. When I finally did, I was on top of the world! As they grew up, I got to experience so much as a mom. But the best was during high school and off to college. Growing with them and our relationship turning into a friendship has been the best. From teaching them how to drive (that was very scary!), to watching them dress up for the prom (kinda expensive!), to going off to college (very expensive!). I always said I couldn't wait, couldn't wait for pregnancy, couldn't wait for them to grow up, couldn't wait for them to move out, then it happened. Then I would say, I can't wait for them to leave and go to college, and they did! It was hard but then I got use to it and when they returned home, well all I can say is that it was an eye opener. Yes, I want them to move out and be on their own, but I am kinda glad they are still here. As you can tell, I have issues of letting go!
You know, the truth is none of us really know what others are going through. We have to stop and really look to see the full picture....and then there are still some things about us, our struggles, that God only knows.
So whatever your struggle is, no matter how big or small you may think it is, God only knows...and he LOVES YOU.
Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Love to all,
