Ummm yea...so a gross, painful cold sore appeared on the left corner of my mouth today.
Seriously? Of course! I haven't had a cold sore in almost 2 decades.
So a quick jaunt to Walgreens for some Abreva this morning is how my battle is starting.
It felt like I was losing the battle on this front as well as with my initial convo with the kids:
Me: I think I am going to give up make up for Lent
Jax: That is a terrible idea mom. You look terrible without make up...
Addy: There may be things I want you to look nice for coming up...
Me: Laughter (because by now I know them pretty well and could have told you this is how they would react). But this is the point you guys! Do you love me because of how I look?!
But God.
I texted my family to say I needed prayer this month and have honestly felt a crazy joy all day. It could be that I rocked Pilates or for the first time pulled into Wal-mart and had my groceries loaded in my car along with 24 Eggos for the price of 10. But I heard that still small voice when I walked into my apartment complete with a fresh appreciation for it: "You are being bolstered by prayer."
And by my brother Dan's perfect humor: "For the record I have decided to go through this struggle with you and will also choose to be free of makeup. We got this!"
