Forget the Resolutions…

I decided to ditch the new year’s resolutions because they will in fact be forgotten. But the one thing that won’t be forgotten are God’s promises.

God's Promises

I have goals and dreams, but not resolutions. Because His promises will be fulfilled. Maybe not in 2014, maybe not in 2015, but at some point they will.

2013 was good for us, but I am also aware of the fact that it might not have been the best for everyone. Lives lost, relationships abandoned, children going down wrong paths. Paths that weren’t in “your plan.” I could go on and on. If 2013 wasn’t your best year, I am praying 2014 brings you new beginnings, and the promises that God has planned for you come to fruition.

Happy new year friends. May this be your best year yet!

xxoo,

Decorchick!

    This has been very difficult year but through it all I knew God was beside me every step of the way. I do pray that 2014 will bring answers to prayers and relieve our hardship.
    Thank you for your blog and the incouragment you give to others.
    My prayers are with you and your family and to be filled with God’s blessings.

    Great perspective. I don’t do New Year’s Resolutions either…I’m more of a goals person like you. But I never thought about it from your perspective. 2013 was good for us too, even though we did have some heartaches. One thing I’m learning is that our dreams and visions look different in reality than what we imagined and that’s okay because God’s ways are higher than ours.

    Thank you for the reminder. :)

      We had struggles and heartaches too. But you are right-God’s ways are much higher than ours. Here’s to 2014 and that things are better for everyone!

2 months later, and it’s still hard. So very har 2 months later, and it’s still hard. So very hard. It is the strangest, most emptiest feeling one could have, and one that not everyone understands.

Tonight was the 3rd griefshare meeting that I’ve attended, and that does help to be around others who have lost someone close. But it is also so painful hearing their stories. And it’s a night during the week that I’m forced to think about how he’s no longer here. It’s helped me to realize all of the thoughts and actions we have are normal, and the things we do that are odd to others, are actually part of the process.

I haven’t been able to wear these shirts of his yet (he wore them every single day. The red one was his “fancy” one), but I’m glad I have them. It’s just really crappy I can’t see him in them any longer. 💔

This is a pain like no other. I watched him take This is a pain like no other.

I watched him take his final breath at 7:24 this morning. The scent of him is still so palpable.

Gone too soon, and years stolen from his wife and grandkids.

We live in the same small neighborhood, right around the corner on the next street. Now the girls can’t ride their 4-wheelers to go see him. We can’t just swing by to pick him up. He can’t go on our walks anymore. There are lots of no-longers, and it is crushing my heart.

Who am I going to call now when I have a question on how to fix something? He had a solution for everything usually saving us hundreds of dollars. Everything was fixable to him, rather than hiring someone. And often he would find the answer on YouTube.

Who am I going to text with when the Astros make a good or bad play during the next World Series?

I want to hear his voice again. I want to go over and cut his hair again. I want to make him another pie for his birthday and Father’s Day.

It hurts so much.

I love you Daddy.
