On days like this

On days like this
It hurts to have you around
It hurts to have you far away
It hurts to speak to you
It hurts to keep quiet
It hurts to say the truth
It hurts to tell lies
It hurts to hold on
It hurts even more to give up
It hurts to do what is right
It hurts to do wrong
Everything just hurts
Today I have been musing on the storms of life and how they come to reveal things for what they really are. If I say I have a strong foundation, the storm will prove the veracity of my words. As a couple I and Mr O have faced, face and will continue to face different storms but our survival will continually depend on what we build our relationship with. I think good has come from facing crisis, I know what he does when he faces the challenges of life but the question I repeatedly ask myself these days is whether I can sign on to a forever of the man he is today or if I secretly wish that he will change in some areas. I recently made a promise to myself to always be honest at least to myself. I hear a voice tell me that love covers a multitude of sins, I don't want to listen to that voice for I recognise the source, at least not today but I have to don't I. Thank you Lord.
This is just to encourage anyone reading that sometimes relationships hit rough patches, before you get married and I guess after as well. Just as I don't believe in the 'D' word (divorce) i'm always hesitant to use the 'B' word (break-up) but before you do accurately assess what you are signing up for. It's one thing to know that imperfections exist yet another to wake up to those imperfections each morning. I'm at a low point but I think I just need to sit with my Daddy for a while on this one. Should be back soon, just wanted to share there are days like this...

I can’t say I know exactly where it hurts, but when it’s a heart issue it hurts so much more. I like your view to it which it to sit it out with God on this. He alone can help you through whatever storm comes along. Remember – it’s always darkest before the dawn. You are in my prayers
