Completing my grief!

I am taking a class at my church called grief recovery. It gives me tools to help me deal with how I feel about different relationships in my life. I am so grateful and I feel like as a single mother I've got a lot of work to do.  Grieving is totally normal, but it should NOT be putting my life on hold for years at a time.  Our lives shouldn't depend on anyone else being or doing certain things, and no one should be able to keep us from living our best life. If we live our life according to our expectations of others we will be disappointed almost constantly. If that is you, and it is definitely me,  I encourage you to get to a program that helps you move forward.  I thank God for the wisdom he has imparted to his people to learn how to deal with different emotional experiences.  I am full of emotions so I will be using my new tools all the time.  God's timing is perfect because I am planning to get married soon, and I don't want any of my past to hinder our future.  I SAID I AM GETTING MARRIED!!!  It's crazy right?!  God truly does answer prayer.  To ensure that my marriage will be everything that God intended for it to be I am making sure that I am as prepared as I can be physically, financially, spiritually, and emotionally.   I am so excited with what the Lord is doing in my life. I am truly not forgotten.
