Some days of the year feel complicated and hard. Mother's day is one of those days for me. It's complex there are many factors to mother's day that make it so.  Moms are great!  I love my mom! AND not being able to have children of my own means that mother's day is a reminder of that pain I feel in my life. 

I have not figured out a pathway through.  Every angle I've tried in my life so far still feels hard, complicated, layered and full of grief.  But what I have learned is that even in those messy, complicated feelings - I have a good shepherd who loves me and is with me.  Especially in my messy grief.  Join me as I remind my heart that we have a good shepherd who loves us deeply.
