Things I’ve learned About God, Pain, and the Holidays

I’ve been trying to write this posts for weeks, but where do you even start? There are so many emotions around the Holidays. A few things that got me through the Holidays while waiting for a little one to join us

1. It’s okay to feel lonely

It’s okay to feel lonely as though you are missing a loved one, because in fact you are. You are missing a piece of your family. You are missing something you want so bad to love on. It’s okay to feel that. It’s okay to feel lonely. 

2. It’s okay to take a break

It’s okay to take some time for yourself. that might be taking a walk by yourself or with your spouse to get away for a little bit. I remember years of Holidays of having baby announcements and new little ones in our family wondering why them and not us? Don’t you know Lord that we want a little one? Don’t you know our family isn’t complete yet? It’s okay to take a little break 
3. It’s okay to feel what you feel. 

We all have our own emotions. I don’t know the emotions you are going through right now, but know it’s okay to feel it. It doesn’t make you any less of a person. 

Above all, remember this. This is so important to remember: we may not know timing and I’m not going to lie- it’s tough; but something I forgot for far too long and something I hope you never forget. YOU ARE LOVED. You are not loved any less because you are going through this. You are a beautiful Child of God, who is loved dearly.
