When Life Gives You Lemons

Who helps you make lemonade? Or better yet a really stiff Lemon Drop. 

The people that you turn to in during a time of struggle speaks volumes. When you need a shoulder to cry on or an arm to hold you up, it becomes starkly apparent who you trust and put your faith in. When your faith is tested who gets you through it? 
It has been one of my more difficult weeks this past week as I await some medical news. Suffice it to say, I don’t ever handle uncertainty well. Even less so when it’s something completely out of my control. And it’s at times like these that I’m reminded how blessed I am with a strong faith, amazing family and superior support system. #lifegoals #accomplished #blessed 

It’s at times like these when you put for faith in God and lean on those who love you most. The support that you need may come in many different forms, but trust those around you to know when, how and where to provide it. For me it was keeping my mind off things, staying engaged and occupied, having a task and purpose, and most importantly reminding me of the blessings I do have. Life is full of struggles, it’s inevitable. What really determines your happiness is your ability to cope and pick yourself up. The support of my husband and sister (and Little Man, though I think he’s is coincidental and unintentional) had allowed me to focus on only those things that I can control. And to have faith that God has a plan and I need but only trust that. This is what gets me through. They are what get me through. And for that, and them, I’ll be forever grateful.
