My Reflections

Beauty for ashes

Take UP Your Cross

Prompt:
Tell about a tough time in your life God ended up using for good.

Answer:
When I lost the twins I was pregnant with, I was not in a good position to care for them. As much as loosing them hurt, it was for the better. I honestly don't think it would had turned out very well if they had survived. I won’t go into detail here, but I have my personal reasons I feel that way.

I was working 2 jobs while pregnant and not able to pay the bills. I was under an extreme amount of stress. Ultimately, that is why I lost them. I had tried so hard, but I felt so alone trying to provide for myself and them. Their father at the time wasn't completely absent, but wasn't completely present either. Our relationship was rocky at best at the time. This is only part of the reason I feel the way I feel about it.

PROMPT July 28th

No one is correct every time. Tell us about a time you realised you were mistaken.

You want me to admit that I was wrong? Lol Well, if you must know, I guess I can tell you.

One day it was raining very hard where I live. The dog had a bad habit of peeing in the living room floor that I was trying to break her of. I didn't realize we had a leak. So when I saw the water on the floor, I thought it was the dog that did it. I punished her for the leak. I felt so bad about it. I got to where I just scold and put in time out instead of spank.
