In the fog

There is so much here that I wish I could share. I wish I could just pour my heart out, empty it of everything.

This week has been so emotional for me.  First of all, I've been so effected by the tragedy that happened in Brookfield, WI.  The loss of three mothers because of domestic violence is unacceptable. It drags me back to my own past where I witnessed my own (ex)step-father hurt my mother and even try to kill her.  It's not like those images leave our minds. They come back in moments like these, were you become thankful for our outcome. Yet, my heart breaks and is heavy trying to figure out what I can do to help other women in this situation. So I'm praying on this.

I've had a lot of struggles with my kiddos this week. It's the emotional kid. It's the tween kind. Some normal, some a result of their pasts, their lack of permanency, their emotional well being. I want to make it better for them. I want to help them move on in life and find joy and happiness. However, we are still stuck in limbo.

I'm just in this fog. Looking for God's rays of hope shining through so I don't get lost along the way.
