Anissa- Blog #4

I feel like these past couple of weeks have just been sucking all of the life out of me. I find myself having to forgive people over and over again. It's easy to do once. But how do you continue to forgive someone when they keep hurting you?
I have been dealing with this question for almost a year and I still haven't found the answer. Everyone keeps telling me to pray and pray about it and God will answer me, but He hasn't... The truth is I hurt a lot more than I let on... My parents divorce hurts me so much.. Honestly, I would give up living the rest of my life if I could go back to 2 years ago when everything was fine for just one day. I miss having a family unity that makes me feel whole.. Now I'm just empty. People always tell me I am so emotional but I put up a brick wall when it comes to this.. I hardly ever open up about it. And when people tell me that they are there if I need to talk I never take them up on it. Talking about it makes it that much more real...
I guess the only thing I CAN do is to continue to pray. I'm not sure if it will ever get better but I have to try.  I'm not really sure if I can take anymore, but if there's any chance that I can get out of this mess I'm going to take it..

Mother Daughter :) Icecream=YUM!

Mother-Daughter was Sunday, got to celebrate how AMAZING my mom is with my sorority. For real though, I have the best mother in the world. I can only hope that one day I'll be able to follow in her footsteps and become as great a woman as she is. Whether or not I realized it, my mom set a great example for me during the past 18 years as I grew up under her roof. She truly has been my biggest role model, and continues to not only be an example of the woman I want to someday be, but she also is the rock in my life. I know if I'm ever lost or confused, she will have a listening ear and wisdom to share. My mom literally is the best listener I have ever met. Oh, and she has an incredible amount of patience, which, being a Morford, is ESSENTIAL when dealing with my over-dramatic tendencies. My mom has a busy life, yet she never hesitates to help me in any way she possibly can, even if it is at the most inopportune time. I think what I love most about my mom is that she has accomplished so much in her life, yet is one of the most soft-spoken, humble people you will ever meet. That in itself shows integrity and genuine heart. I have to say, my mom's love for the Lord and her devotion to my dad, my brothers, and myself leaves me in awe. We are a crazy, obnoxious, busy bunch of people, who seriously can get under anyone's skin, and will, but my mom never gets annoyed with us, plus she keeps us from driving each other up the wall. I think my entire family would agree that she is the center of our family, literally the anchor keeping us from drifting apart. She is an incredibly strong and caring woman, not to mention that she is absolutely beautiful. Like look at that picture, you physically cannot tell who the mother is versus who the daughter is. It's like a picture of sisters :) and it may as well be because my mom is my best friend. I love spending time with her. There are nights where I literally cancel my plans because getting dinner with my mom sounds way too good to pass up. There is no one I'd rather go shopping with, and she's always the first one I call when something terrible or something wonderful happens. I sometimes forget that she is significantly older than me... but I love that she is because she has such a different perspective of life and has already survived everything I'm going through. She is the ultimate mentor and I am so lucky that I get to learn from her. I can't imagine the girl I'd be today if I was raised by anyone else... I truly would not be as happy as I am today... there is no way. God blessed me tremendously. I know that no matter where life takes me as I continue to grow up, I will always have my mom just a speed dial button away and all the little quirks she's passed down to me that remind me that I am my mother's daughter.
