This card is a CASE and I honestly don't remember who inspired it. (If this looks familiar to you, please send me an email so I can give credit where credit is due)
By a miracle I found the site again where I had seen the project! Yay! I found the inspiration on Lori's site!!! So, now that the proper person has been recognized I will no longer need to hang my head in shame. ") The sentiment says "Imagine the possibilities". Sometimes when life is at it's most frustrating it's hard to stop, take a breath, and remember that things won't always suck forever! So, this card is meant to remind me to "Buck up little troop" when I'm feeling frustrated and hopeless.
I need to knock it off and remind myself of the many blessings I have that I take for granted, that many people would happily point out if they were in my situation. I am trying very hard to figure out what this lesson is I am to learn. God is not as direct as I would like. If I had the right frame of mind & wasn't thinking about other things, it would probably hit me like a piano falling from above on a sidewalk.
For those who willingly pray for me and / or my family members, I have another request. I know what I want to say, but to put words to it is a lot harder than I thought. Please pray for me to learn how to forgive honestly from my heart. Right now it is so full of pain, sorrow, loss, anger, frustration, fear, and hopelessness that there isn't any room for the really important thing, Forgiveness. Until I honestly forgive and ask for blessings for those who have trespassed against me, those other emotions are going to control me and that scares me. They have had their fun this is not who I am and I have to take control back.
