This I Know



There are so many things in life that I am uncertain of, but a few things that I know for certain.

I am certain that I am imperfect, and I am not alone in this condition.

I am certain that I am someone who believes in love and loves with her whole heart.

I am certain that I love my children unconditionally and more than I ever thought was humanly possible to love.

I am certain that I am a child of God and though I have, at times, turned my back on him He has never left my side.

I am certain that when I take time to be creative I feed a deep need within my spirit that craves art and creativity.

I am certain that my children have made me a better person. Through them I have learned unconditional love, patience, true fear, and a joy that surpasses all other joys.

I am certain that I am capable of reaching any goals that I set for myself and I will attain my heart's desires because I can face what causes me fear and overcome these obstacles.

I am certain that I am loved, despite my short-comings.

I am certain that I am blessed.

It's hard to be certain about some things, but this is a list of the best things to be certain of. It is telling about you as a person. It is even more telling that you acknowledge and are thankful for these things. What a great post.

Just to say a big THANK YOU for stopping by my blog! Yours is great too. I turned my back on God because I thought that I was being punished for Him taking both my husband and Family away so quickly, but now I realise that he has much more in store for me.
I loved your post! I'll be back again!!

Hi Susan!

I'm so glad you stopped by - it's nice to "meet" you! What a beautiful blog...I really loved reading your post today. Yesterday I got caught up in some local fatal accident news, even though I didn't know the teenagers. Just a broken heart about life's fragility. Thanks for the lovely reminder that I'm certain - it's all in God's hands.
