Lindylou - Walking Through Womanhood

We need to remember we are His child! We are all born a child. In all the innocence and beauty of a newborn, we are not perfect in our form. We are missing the part our Creator most desires us to have Spiritual Life. As the proud parents and grandparents coo over every movement of the precious babe, reality boldly holds the true condition of one’s soul: Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin,and so death spread to all men, because all sinned (Romans 5:12 NAS). As the years rush past –all the birthdays, holidays, and events of life – we lose track of how quickly a child grows. As I flip through a photo album of my children’s younger days, I wonder. Why did I fret so about decorations? Did it really matter what he wore? How many times of anything this life has to offer is enough?

But I still say with certainty, YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Back off, take a breath. I mean really breathe in and out deeply. Cry, scream, run, even punch or pound a chair, pillow or the ground outside! Get all of the adrenaline pumping through your veins to more of a balanced level so that you can think. Then try this: Identify what is the wrong . Seriously face reality.
