Once upon a time there was a young woman. She was a stunning, talented young woman who was alot of times overlooked for what she had to offer the world. (Sorry...that was a vent, and I'm in desperate need of that particular compliment). She was always exhausted, weary in her faith, usually had a headache by 2 or 3pm, and never could quite keep up with anything that she was supposed to stay on top of on a daily basis. Life wasn't blissful. It wasn't predictable. It certainly wasn't easy. One day she started crying. She cried until her eyeballs nearly popped out of her aching head. Then she had a big fat glass of red wine and went to bed early. The End.
Nighty night!!

Stunning, talented, unappreciated to her fullest worthiness Abbey - Hope tomorrow is a day where you feel more energized and loved and peaceful. I totally understand where you are coming from, therefore, will follow your example right now! 'Night!
Abbey,
I have failed to tell you honestly what I think about you. I know that you are beautifully human, in fact you have always been refreshingly real and down to earth. Your example did so much to help me strive for the same quality in my life.
But... you ARE an amazing woman. You have a talent for creating beauty and organizing your environment in a comforting way. You are unbelievably beautiful and you are the only woman my husband has hinted he would like me to be more like :) (He loves the way you decorate and would love to have some of that in our home.) You are a good mother and your boys are a delight. You love your husband and you strive toward loving both him and God more.
You are running a good race. Like you said, there comes a time when you are running that you hit a wall and need something to get you going. Well plug some music in, worship, dance(naked)before the Lord and cry your eyes out. I love you and will dance and cry on your behalf.
I think we've been more than honest with eachother over the years and I feel like I KNOW you inside and out as much as is possible and I have to agree with you that you are indeed very stunning,and talented and overlooked.I just can't wait until all your pain can go away. I swear I long for heaven for you as much as I do for myself sometimes. Ahhh, we are going to, first thing, (after we get settled in)give eachother staight arm high fives and jump up and down screaming, and we'll make up songs, but instead of them all being about pooping and farting they will be about God and His safety and protection and love beyond all measure...some of them might be funny and I hope God looks at us so proud and just laughs HARD until He cries. I don't know what it's going to be like, but I do know you will never have to cry your eyes out ever again because you will be with your Comfoter. So, not to be preachy but, wait on the Lord Abbey, He is coming so be patient and keep longing for that day. I love you Ab.
