"This has been the longest day!" ~ Fritz Sullivan, age 3

My three year old grandson put his head down on his jacket as he lay on the airport floor and said those words... at 7:08 a.m. We had just checkd in for an International flight to Japan. Little did he know! About 20 hours later we arrived at our destination! His words are on my list of memories from this trip. Don't you feel like this divorce recovery journey has been "your longest day?" I know when I was in the depths of the worst parts of my divorce the days were interminable. The hours crept by ... I think that's the way it is when you're grieving. I remember at one point writing in my journal ..."I need to make it to 10 o'clock."
I was struggling to get through 14 minutes. In looking back, maybe it's because such valuable important work is going on that it takes so long... You can be a brighter, warmer, deeper, more sensitive person after this journey is over. Believe that fact. I hated it when someone said things like that to me, but it's the truth.

Use these days .. Let God use them. Learn the lessons. Feel the pain and use it to become the person Gods means you to be. I hated the process, but I am so thankful for what I've learned. Use your "longest day" to get to the destinations you've only dreamed about!
