Single mum

Not easy being a single mum. Not easy

I never planned or thought I would end up a single parent. But eh! No one has control over life, lemons get thrown all the time.
The singular prayer I have is may my kids grow up to love Jehovah. To have genuine faith in Him. I ask for nothing else.
Such a daunting task!, making disciples of one's children.
Oh Jehovah! May you hear my prayer.

Day 2

Been two days  since the decision
Find myself  waking up at about the same times.... The times we would normally chat.  Bizarre  how my body clock has refused to adjust to the Pacific time Zone.  It seems it's decided to stay in the GMT zone.
Yes, no contact.  Discovered subtle way.... Social Media.  Find myself looking for Oko mi's tweets.  Google plus  not bad also.
Yes the decision to go cold turkey is for the  good of all.  I believe so absolutely.  I love it that Oko Mi is not allowing  himself to weaken like me.  I had to send a quick kiss a few minutes ago.
So badly want to gist about the visit to SeaWorld  yesterday.
The new ride Maku,  so scaringly thrilling I could not even scream.  The mantra ride,  how little miss chickened out and I couldn't let only little prince by himself,  so I went on.  Screamed thought out the two minute or so ride.
Was a fun day.  Had chef's salad for lunch.  Went on Lake paddle ride.  Unfortunately no pics of the pink flamingo ride.  Did we paddle!!
Left SeaWorld about 8pm. Forgot to reroute the map navigation  and found ourselves heading back to SeaWorld.  Got it right and returned to hotel within 20 minutes
Today,  22 December,  2016
Sun burning hot,  though not as hot in the shade.  Right now at the water park of Westgate resort.  Kids having fun.
Today is meeting at the Kingdom Hall by 7:30.  Will leave here anytime around 5.

Oko mi,  wish you were here.  Would love for  you to be here, lounging,  relaxing,  do nothing but rest from the hard work at the office,  if only for a day.

Lemons and lemonade.....
a chronicle of feelings.....
hmmm.....

We know the saying, when the world gives you lemons....you make lemonade. Lemons! That tart fruit loved by some hated by others. I chose the lemony theme for reasons you'll understand with time. Bear with me.

Yesterday, 19 December, 2016.... pleasing Jehovah is best for all. It will make for a better relationship.  Difficult at times, painful most times, doing the right thing is.
Today, 20 December,  2016.....agreed to do the right thing.

A couple of hours into this, was tempted to use the password to make contact.

When you have someone you feel is the one, the first person you want to wake up in the morning to see and last person at night before sleeping. The person you want to walk with side by side wherever you go. The person you want to just sit on the couch with. You want to play games with, the person you want to do nothing with. The person you feel comfortable  with seeing you as you are. You can talk anything and nothing with. You can laugh with.

When you have someone like that, you have found your life partner. It doesn't matter how old you are when when this happens. You have found 'the one'. You stay with this one through thick and thin, for better or for worse, forever.
And if this person is someone you had previously and something happened and you went apart.....and you reconnect....my dear reader, this person is 'the one' God made for you.

Life is tough, life can be really unkind. Having 'The one' makes it possible to begin the lemonade process.

God bless my one and only, God bless our families and may Jehovah be with us and strengthen us in all our plans. Amen.
