When a young woman finds out she is pregnant - for the first time, or any time - she glows on the outside for all to see!
Deep inside, she carries a brand new life; and that glow grows from the inside out.
As that life grows into a child, you can see the glow instilled by the mother shining on her little one's face.
I wish for that outside glow. I'm not sure there is even an inside glow; yet each day I attempt to show happiness and joy; to be upbeat no matter what is going on around me.
Each day I wake to a new day and, as I said in Day 2's post on strive, I try to put on a happy face.
My insides are in turmoil, trying to react to what is happening. Some days it's calm and peaceful; not dramatic situations caused by my husband...yet, he blames it all on me!
Other days, it's one right after another; and I don't know how to react or what to say.
Many times, I just ignore him!
But with turmoil around me; and inside of me...
I know there is no "happiness glow" showing on my face.
But, I try!
Each day, I try!
And I think that is all I can do...

That glow comes from the light of Jesus on the inside. We don't always see it in the natural, but it is always there. You've got it, I can tell by your picture.
