yuck

migraine.
tears.
upset stomach that no paleo mess could fix.

i'm not sure i'm going to survive parenting a *certain* child.

i don't know how to find the line between having hope/assuming the best of someone and feeling hopeless/not trusting someone that continues to disobey and lie. the crash of the former (that inevitably comes) gets more and more painful (i.e. migraine. tears. upset stomach.) but living in the latter isn't me. it is my nature to trust and assume the best.

ugh.

ugh.

ugh.

His still, small voice is there...but it feels very small and far away on this dark night.

He IS there! HIS love never fails, never gives up, never runs out on you. HOLD on to that. You are showing that Jesus to a child that is desperately trying to figure out what one thing will remain. love you!

I'm so sorry it's continuing to be so hard Courtney. You are a wonderful momma and ALL your children are blessed to have you in their lives!

Hang in there but remember to take care of yourself. My child sent me on a downward spiral that I am still trying to climb out of

So sorry, friend. You are not alone in this.
