All of a sudden

Lily just started reaching some milestones, and it seems like it was out of the blue! All of a sudden she started grabbing toys, and pulling them to her mouth. She began to try to crawl when on her tummy. And my favorite, she grabs her feet. It just seems like it was all overnight she began to change out of a newborn to a baby. And a chunky monkey at that. I took her to the ped yesterday to have her ear looked at and she's up to 17 lbs. So cute. In reality though, she has been working up to these milestones, but to me, it felt like it was suddenly.

All of a sudden. Sometimes things happen like that in our lives too. You will wake up and things have changed and you say to yourself, "when the heck did that happen?" I am not sure if I blogged about my self-esteem issues, maybe I will do that sometime if I have not, anyway...a friend asked me what finally set me free from the terrible self-image I had. It was funny because I could not pin point a specific time where I felt like I was free, I just was. It was an all of a sudden moment for me. I realized that over time, reading the Bible and praying, that I just was set free. I did not have a smack yourself in the head moment where I shouted "I'm healed!" or anything like that. But looking back on that time in life, it feels like it was all of a sudden. Does that even make sense?!

I say that to encourage you to keep pluggin' on in life. If you are walking through a trial in life at the moment, perhaps you see no end in sight, hang tight. Eventually you will be on the other side of the mountain and you will think gosh, that was all of a sudden.
