have you ever reached one of those milestones in your life,
the kind that you think you might never reach?
and when you look back on the journey that brought you to that place,
you think...
"man that was really really hard!"
"i never thought i would get here!"
"i didn.t think i could do it!"
"i almost quit so many times."
but...
as you are standing on the top of the hill looking back on the
difficult road you.ve just worked so incredibly hard to climb,
you think...
i am so happy that i didn.t quit!
and it.s those very words that speak peace to your heart
they convince you of the truth that
you can do hard things!
and they hold your hand the next time something
"seemingly impossible" creeps into your life.
they whisper...
{happy 16th baby!}

Happy anniversary! My hubby and I had our 15 this spring and a few years ago it was really rough. Almost to the point where I could see it ending. But then I realized that when I think of the end of my days, seeing our kids and grandkids grown there was no one else on this earth I'd like to have next to me than him. That was the turning point for me.
ReplyDeleteOh Chrissy...this post spoke to me in the BIGGEST way... Thank-you for continuing to enlighten us with your bright light and big heart. xo
