The Bountiful Gal - Standing For Truth

  Yesterday was my 17 year anniversary!  What a road it has been since we initially met 22 years ago.  We have had amazing moments together and we've had hard struggles.  We've had days where we want to be together and other days we're glad we both work full time.  We have our moments of joys and thinking life can't get any better, to days of tears and heartaches wondering can we keep moving forward.  And yet with it all we wake up the next morning and try again. I woke up this morning thinking about how I'm just beginning to understand the need for marriage.   You fall in love and get married with filtered glasses.  You can't even imagine there will be trouble.  I remember when people would tell me just wait till the honeymoon stage is over and I would laugh and say, it won't be any different because he's my best friend - we know everything about each other.   Within 3 months of being married, I was pregnant and we had babies ...

 HAPPY EASTER!!   What a glorious day!  I love Easter!  I love the focus of Christ's atonement and all He has done for me.  I especially loved everyone's posts in social media about Christ this week.  It was so uplifting for me and blessed my life in a more powerful way then I ever imagined. This week was insanely busy! I'm always busy this time of year with meets and prepping for the coming year team.  Then on top of that we are looking to expand the business which means possible new locations.  What was supposed to be Spring Break turned into me working 10 plus hours a day.  I was gone right before they woke up, came home early afternoon, but continued to work till 10 each night.   Because it was Easter week I was looking forward to studying Christ's last week.  I was so excited to ponder each day on Christ.  Well, that didn't go the way I wanted it to do at all.  I was so exhausted each day there was no option...
