I was very touched that I had friends and family wondering if I was okay because I haven't posted lately. I have been struggling a little bit lately. I actually had a wonderful experience at the Mercy Me concert. Bart the lead singer and song writer had a movie made about his life called, I Can Only Imagine. If you haven't seen the movie I recommend that you go and see it. It is about how we can change and become a better person through Christ. At the concert the audience sang along with the songs, singing their testimony of Jesus Christ as our Savior and His all encompassing Grace. Bart told how writing songs is his therapy. (Blogging and T-Shirts are my therapy!!!) He wrote the song Beautiful for his 2 daughters. He saw how the way the world looks at women is mostly about physical looks was affecting his girls. He wanted them to know that they are God's children and therefore, absolutely beautiful. He expressed his testimony on how no matter the problems in our lives and especially chronic illness like his son has. Having chronic illness means that there are a lot hard days. (I have learned how to manage my Chronic illness and my anxiety. I also have some hard days!) He wrote my favorite song Even If for his for his son. The concert was amazing, the problem is that when my friends dropped me off I was in a lot of pain and I was bleeding in a couple of places. I am bouncing back because that is what I do. If I had known that going to the concert would have affected me to the point it did, I wouldn't have gone.The consequence was that I didn't feel well enough to go to my grand daughter's dance competition! She is such a talented dancer! I also didn't get to see her brothers, my two cute grand sons. I love spending time with my grand children. To bounce back I binge watched a Hallmark series Signed, Sealed, Delivered! Only happy endings!!! Everything didn't go in their lives as planned and there were some really hard times for the people in the stories, however, relationships were mended and happy endings commenced !!! I use to refuse to watch anything that didn't have a happy ending because in my life and my students lives there hasn't been happy endings. Then I realized that our stories aren't over and the happy endings are coming!!! And there are a lot of happy days in my life!!!!
