I fall a lot. More so now than ever before & I’m trying to handle it well, but my heart is hurting. And I’m embarrassed.
My husband was taking pictures of me yesterday, for my new #blog series … And I of course fell trying to walk up this trail. I wanted to just SCREAM, but the work God is doing on my heart is making me a little stronger to handle moments like this.
These blogs may be the hardest I’ve ever written. Mostly due to embarrassment. I’ve noticed social media likes us to portray this perfect existence. Your face is angled just right, the lighting needs to be perfect & basically, you should look like @heidiklum before its all over… And honestly, I too have participated in the pretty insta-life, because it’s fun & nice to receive compliments … But here’s what my life looks like.
And I actually fell twice yesterday. Once here & once in my sister’s home. And you know what else? I fell at the reception of my wedding! Talk about humiliation. Walking to greet another friend, only to fall to the earth … Puffy white dress surrounding me, perfect bun coming undone, holding back tears to not ruin my make-up. I had big plans for that day & a fall was not one of them.
But that’s life. You plan & dream & hope & pray, but your cross trips you up … And you fall.
You’ll be seeing a lot of “falls” in my fight song … Not just physical, but emotional, marital, spiritual … And I don’t mind letting you in, because what else do I have to do? This is my life. I ENJOY writing because it is the one place I have, where I can’t fall. I enjoy sharing because it’s my freedom to do anything I want to do.
And I read this really important book to try & make sense of it all. I want to write about that too. So if you enjoy #teamfrys & our stories, I hope you’ll partake.
My family, friends & HUSBAND are the real stars of this story. Without them, I’d have FALLen apart a long time ago. Well, them & Jesus of course. ?
See you tomorrow, ? #thankyouJesus #sincerelyholly #feb1st
I can’t wait to see your new blog and read about your beautiful life!
Oh pretty and strong lady you have no reason to be embarrassed! I do understand being embarrassed humanly speaking but God is using you in mighty ways to teach others of our Lord’s grace, strength, peace and having joy in your life. You do have difficulties in life, just as we all do….our difficulties may not look the same but everyone has them. You my friend show us that joy and happiness are possible even in the midst of hard times. And your marriage…..what a fairytale! Your husband stands beside you and pours out support, love and compassion to the love of his life! Many of us marry young and never consider what health problems, financial difficulties, or many other hardships that could threaten our marriages. You and your man married knowing life’s hardships……AND THE CAKE MAN CHOSE YOU!!! What an enormous love! Embarrassed? I think not! You sweet lady are blessed beyond measure! Thank you for reminding me that true love and life doesn’t look like Hollywood, magazines and social media sites portray! Our lives look like God intends them to look like so He himself gets all the honor and glory!….and our many, many blessings help carry us through those hard days……Becky LaRue
