You wont see a story about her on CNN, or on your local news. No one really knows she is missing. She didnt even know she was missing until today. I only know her story because it is mine....
I used to be so happy in my role as wife and Mom. I loved Heavenly Father with all my heart, and loved to surround myself in his word. Then something changed. Not something big and life changing. Just a bunch of little things. Little things that seemed harmless, but once they all started adding up I drown myself in them. Things that were worldly started to become very important, I stopped reading my scriptures, or anything Church or Bible related for that matter. All my old favorite blogs that were inspiring, were replaced by new blogs that made me not content with my own life, and jealous of others. Slowly bit by bit it took me over. My husband became like "one of those men", my children became "irriating", I started thinking about what life would be like outside the 4 walls of my home. I became discontent, and miserable and was taking everyone else with me. And I didnt even see it....
Until this morning. I woke up to an email from someone I hold in high regard. She runs a website that for over 5 years has helped teach me to love the Lord, my husband, and my children. I have been uplifted by her and other women on her website more times then I can count. A very dear local friend I have today came from "meeting" her on the site.
She was told be someone else I highly regard about what had happened to my husband, and wanted to see if we were okay, and if she could post a prayer request for us. Now this is so kind at anytime. But you see, when I started to lose myself, I pushed these ladies away. I havent been to this site in MONTHS. I figured they had all long ago forgot about me. But they didnt. You see, I know the Lord has been waiting for me to figure it out, and these ladies are so strong with their walk, that he knew it was time for them to reach out. To make me remember who I really am.
So to my wonderful Heavenly Father who puts up with so much from me, Thank you. To Mel, and Elizabeth, Thank you
And to my amazing husband, and children, I am so sorry, and I love you with all my heart.

((HUGS)) Kelly!! Satan loves to get us where it hurts - with discontent. It's a very small virus that invades so much of our lives and it's not an easy thing to get rid of. You can't just take a pill and get better. You have to use the Spirit in you to fight it off. Protect your heart and your mind - keep reading the Word - keep in constant contact with the One who created you. Keep your focus on Him and you can't go wrong.
Thank you for a timely reminder of what is important.
Hugs and prayers, dearie. You've been missed!
