Mostly because I don't like to spend money on furniture. I have been rolling around the idea of painting my cabinets for a year. Gabe is the most unhandy human. Maybe we can have some kind of painting challenge that will give us a kickstart. <br />On other notes, you are awesome and I'm sorry you have to carry this great void in your life that only hope in Jesus can fill. But you do, and you can do it and I know in my heart of hearts life will get better. God's going to do it in a way only He can, and I am anxious to see His good work in you. Love you so much and pray for you.Allison Jenkins Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08699795254367333209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4582769829379880254.post-7336062640596690202012-05-20T15:39:37.161-05:002012-05-20T15:39:37.161-05:00Gosh...I feel like I never know what to say. I wa...Gosh...I feel like I never know what to say. I want to tell you that it will get better, but that's easy for me to say. I'm not sitting where you are. I feel guilty. I feel guilty that my husband comes home and helps me with my kids. I feel guilty that he can go to a baseball game with my kids. I want everything to be better for you...I want God to reveal HIS plan for you and for your kids...its much greater than this. Its huge and its out there. I am always in awe of your faith and hope and love. You are such a special, special person and I am absolutely honored to call you my friend.We Three Smiths + 1https://www.blogger.com/profile/00649563313549626209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4582769829379880254.post-8053203212220248322012-05-16T22:50:20.270-05:002012-05-16T22:50:20.270-05:00Hi,Mary...As I read this, I am so proud of you! Y...Hi,Mary...As I read this, I am so proud of you! You are in the hard part of the hardest thing ever...and you are remaining faithful and hopeful and honest...glorifying God...<br /><br />I am praying for you often...and your kids and their fears...not that you don't already know, but it just takes time (dang-it!)--for me, I wanted to just push through and get to the other side, but I know it doesn't work that way. It gets better--like SO much better--but it's never "over" or "done" to never be seen again...(dang-it!) ;)<br /><br />It was good to see you and give you a real hug at M2M a few weeks ago. Someone once told me this was not the "sorority" that anyone would ever want to be inducted into....but here we are and in it there's so much love and support. If there is ANYTHING--if I knew anything about painting cabinets, I'd drive right down--I can do, please let me know. <br /><br />In a way, being able to support others going through this pain somehow helps make what I've gone through easier to understand (??)...and I too feel that God will someday use my life/experiences (mistakes an all!!) to help others...so I relate to you there.<br /><br />Anyway, just keep pressing on. You're doing sooo good!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16320437252687656270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4582769829379880254.post-79527030719553310522012-05-16T18:38:08.889-05:002012-05-16T18:38:08.889-05:00I can help you with cabinet painting!!
