i can relate, i can relate....

okay, this begins a little humbling, but it has a point... so it was a rainy afternoon and i finished up a band practice and went home to rest before teen night... while i was home resting i decided to channel surf... as i did i came across Oprah... now i don't usually watch Oprah, but i noticed that her guest was going to be Uma Thurman... after seeing this i decided to leave it on that channel... it could be that i secretly have decided that i am going to marry her, but nobody is suppose to know that yet...

anywho as she spoke with the talk show diva they talked about Uma's recent divorce and for the first time in my life i felt like i could relate to a celebrity... as she spoke she seemed very real... it was like her pain was the great equalizer... i felt like if i were there we could speak and actually with each other... seeing this famous movie star speaking very honestly and very painfully brought back some emotions for me and reminded me of what i have to come in terms of finalizing stuff...

so here is my point... "pain is pain..." how is that for deep thoughts??? on a day that i have been missing my little boys and have been feeling pretty alone i see someone who is dealing with pain and hurt too... my heart broke for uma as a could relate to what she was feeling... none of us are exempt, none of us are free from pain... this is a fact, but despite this pain the ultimate truth is that "God is God" and he cares for our hurts and pains... sometimes it is the simple things that i so easily forget, but it is still true... so here i sit still missing my boys trusting that we will be united someday saying that "uma, i praying for you..." YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!
