Today is July 1st. Today is the day that I should be focusing on something I committed to do this month, but as I sit here typing I have a hurt. As a parent, we never want to see our child hurt. I can't even believe that I let my child's hurt fester so deep inside me that I am physically ill today. So much so that I had Taco Bell for lunch and I fell it coming up. I have butterflies in my stomach. This is so silly but it involves my child. I don't want to get into specifics because I have so many people reading this blog so I will try to choose my words carefully.
For months now, my husband and I have had many discussions about the influences around our daughter. By no means are we perfect and there are many times (I am very sad to admit) that Shelly has heard and seen things that we don't want her to see and hear. There is one influence though, that Greg and I struggle with. There is an influence around our daughter that we just can't seem to get away from. This is all I want to say about this.......I ache. For my friends reading this , please please pray for Greg and I as we must come to a decision that might hurt others.
I think the bottom line is Satan is on the attack. I will admit that during the summer months I seem to go through 'The Valley". I am so emotional today that at any minute I will loose it.
On another note.....we had a great "Birthday weekend". My baby girl is officially 9. I am very please to say that she shocked me yesterday by telling me that she wanted her ears pierced. Most of you know her and she is not a girl that handles pain well. So when she told me she wanted it done, I couldn't get the car to the mall fast enough. I was so excited.
I think I am going to take a nap!
