Life as we know it

It has been a while since I have posted on here. Brady was born on April 16 and I only took 4 weeks off. At 6 weeks, Brady went on his first business trip with mom. We took him to Chicago. His next trip was to San Francisco at 9 weeks. Then we went back to Chicago @ 12 weeks. He has been to Arkansas 4 times already. He is quite the traveling little dude, just like his parents.
Tony and I feel like we haven't missed a beat. Granted it takes us a little more time to leave the house, but we love it. He is a happy little guy and sleeps 12 hours. What could be better? We are truly blessed.
All of this comes, at a very trying time in our marriage. God puts challenges in our paths on a daily basis. Some of them are small and some of them are huge. So, my life, as I thought it would be when Brady got here, is not quite what I had planned. We have some really great friends who have offered support, haven't judged, and just been there to listen. It is times like this where God's amazing grace and infinite wisdom are shown. I am not sure how I could have dealt with some of this without knowing such a loving God and knowing he put some really amazing people in our lives. Then I have to remember that life in general is not going to happen the way I plan it out. It is going to happen on God's plan and there is a reason for everything. No matter how bad the hurt there is a reason. We may not be able to see it or understand it now, but in the end we will be able to see it. For me personally, I have had to grow in many areas, but the two most important are anger and forgiveness. No matter how bad we hurt and get mad, remember that Jesus died on the cross for us and I have no doubt that hurt a lot worse. Thru that action, he forgave. He died to show forgiveness. I sit and think what would I do to show forgiveness. He made it easy for us, we don't have to die to show it, we just have to live and show it to others. That is a hard lesson in life to learn, especially when sometimes you want to be angry or hurt. From the words of one of my favorite songs "some things are the way things are and words just can't explain." I am not sure what he has planned for us, but I know there is a reason and I know we will survive everything brought our way. Thank you Jesus for loving us and making us stronger on a daily basis.
