Only What I Can Handle

So they say God only gives us what we can handle.  For the last 21 months I felt like I was given more than my fair share.  Things went wrong in the house, Matt got a concussion that has lasted 15 months and Nate has had his fair share of problems academically and broken bones.  The whole time I am saying enough is enough, why am I getting hit with all of this.  This week I realized why!  I am a strong, independent person who believed right from the time Kevin passed away that I could do this.  I can be mom, teacher, homeowner, whatever I need to do I can do it.  I have friends to do things with and go places with to keep busy.  I have my parents and sister when I need help.  I am all good.   This week I realized that God keeps throwing things at me because there was something I needed to learn.  I needed to learn to ask for help from friends.  I needed to understand there are people who have been in my life or have come into my life that can help me.  This week was my eye opener when Nate had places to be and Matt had different therapies for his concussion, all at the same time.  I got in touch with friends who were involved in the same activities and asked for help.  Of course I have amazing people in my life who immediately helped me out.   I am learning.  I won't say I have completely changed but I am working on it.  Thank you friends for being there for my boys and me, you are the best!!!
