So as I go into this day and other days I want to go into it with an open heart the heart that God gave me to share with others.  I know that we are also to guard our hearts so I ask you how do you do both.  Well, I think you do what is right and good and the other follows after. Now do our hearts get hurt sometimes of course they do.  This is the learning process that he helps us with and we remember we are not going through this alone.  He is there and I am sure you have all heard this that he only gives us what we can handle.  Its hard to believe sometimes that we are that strong but we are of him and he lives inside of us. I was talking to my sister in law tonight and she made me feel better and she told me how strong that she thought I was.  I know that with God that I can get through all the bad times that evil sends my way.  I am trying so hard to be strong some days and not sure what the direction is that I am going from time to time but I do know that God is guiding me in the direction.  I am working so hard to stay on his path.  I just don't want to over think it.  God bless all of you out there that are wondering which direction to go and the struggles that your journeys bring.
