Sorry for the lack of posting this week, I think I am anxiously awaiting my new laptop (which should arrive tomorrow).
Regular football season has ended, but there is not much rejoicing yet because we have three bowl games to go. Why they have “bowl” games for PopWarner escapes this Mom, but what do I know =). Then after the bowl games, they have a game where we travel to Jacksonville and the boys have the opportunity to meet some of the Jaguar players. They are very excited about this, I am just waiting for it to be over. I know I gave up the award for Mom of the Year, years ago.
On a more serious note, I want to thank those who commented on my previous post. The news article really stuck a cord in me, I think it verified what I suspected to be true. I just had never seen it as an official statistic. One thing I know to be true, women between the ages of 40 to 64 are hurting.
These life changes that happen can sometimes be more than a person can bear. On top of these life changes, we fall in the trap of believing the lies society tells us. There is a woman I know, who recently lost a lot of weight and got certain enhancements. The sad thing is, I know it will not replace the longing she has in wanting to be accepted. I know she has struggled in her marriage, but these external changes are not the answer. I am not against what she had done, I just know there are deeper issues that are not being dealt with.
I have so many thoughts on this issue but I won’t go into all of it right now, I am still “chewing” on this article. But I think Debbie hit it on the head in the comment section when she said:
But I think the REAL problem is that many women do not have a personal relationship with God through Jesus. When you realize that you are a child of the Most High God and that He loves you and has a special plan for your life…it changes everything. Then when life doesn’t turn out the way you’d hoped, you know in your heart that this isn’t all there is. After all, this isn’t our home. We’re just passing through until we get to our eternal home.
Well next time I post I should be “in the pink.” What should I install first?
