This was the worst and best Valentine's Day I have EVER had. Let me explain:
Our church held a Valentine's Day event which we volunteered to help out. We were so excited about it! I woke up this morning, couldn't get my hair to go right (don't want to hear it, guys), my girls weren't listening to me and they were in bad moods, my hubby and I just couldn't get on the same wave length...it goes on and on and on. The day just kept getting worse and by 3pm we both had had enough! We were so frustrated with each other and with the day. We were going to stay for the service that night but just wanted to go home.
My oldest daughter wanted to stay for service, badly. It was a bitter sweet thing. We knew we should stay, so we did. After the girls getting a very very tiny nap, and Keith and I deciding to let go of everything, forgive and move on, and we went back to church.
Can I just say, that when you ask for God's help and you stop letting Satan defeat you, it is such an amazing feeling!! The rest of our evening was unbelievable. The service was so awesome and encouraging. We are so excited about the next step God has given to us.
Please pray with us that God will continue to provide us with provision and the continued finances needed to "stay alive". I can truly see what God is starting to lay out for us! So exciting!!! Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day!

My day was sort of a struggle also. Hurtfully memories come back. But there is something calming about serving the Lord in this event and being with a great fellowship of friends all day. Kids ministry was a great way to end my up and down day. The kids have so much energy and are such a blessing. I think God was moving in many people this Valentines Day.
