Strength Through the Storm

For many mothers it is hard enough to get beyond the pain of not having your kids with you.....but in many cases there are many mothers who struggle with the pain and anger of having been served an injustice by the family courts and their Ex on top of it.  An aha moment (as Oprah calls them) that I felt was very important to pass along was the focus on forgiveness.  Oprah stated;
     "Forgivess is.....giving up the hope that the past could be any different and letting go of that past"
     "Until you learn to heal the wounds of your past, you will continue to bleed into the future"
Basically it is helpful to keep in mind that forgiveness is 'for YOU' not 'for the person getting the forgiveness'.  When you are able to forgive and let go of what was 'done to you' you will find a wave of peace come over you.  If you are holding on to your pain, anger, resentment it essentially controls at least a part of you.  It will continue to rage around in your heart like a carbonated drink being shook inside a closed bottle.  If you offer forgiveness, it is like removed that bottle cap and all that built up pressure and tension is released and there is a calm inside.  The same will happen within your heart.  Try to forgive the one who has inflicted so much pain and remind yourself that it is "FOR YOU" and so that your heart will find peace.

I watched Christie Brinkley talk to Matt Lauer on the Today show (I usually dont have time to stop and watch anything in the morning) and felt the scar in my heart slightly reopen as I looked in her eyes at the end and felt the familiar pain as she said till tears swelled, "I just want peace......please I just want peace".  Whether you are in the public eye or just an ordinary person in Alabama, the pain of dealing with a bitter and narcissistic ex is almost unbearable!  She is such a model to mothers in trying to do the best for your kids, still focusing on your career or purpose in life, and having to deal with the constant harassment of an ex that just can't seem to move on and be a civil person towards you....allowing you some 'PEACE'.
I hope to get in contact with her regarding the mission I have upon my heart to offer hope and healing to so many mothers who deal with this type of person and then many who are unjustly without their children on top of it!

I have walked through the storm, found the shelter and comfort of many angels and friends, and come upon the sunlight at the end of it all.  Not without the grace and guidance of God.  I hope to offer hope, healing, and faith to all of those who are or have faced the same storm of pain and heartache.
