I posted this saying awhile ago.  It's as true today as it was then...  Still taking the steps.  


Healing and recovering from losing everything, it's a process.

Moving on, for me, is about accepting where I'm at.  That is not always a good thing, in some ways it is and in some ways I hate where I'm at.  I'm starting over - completely.  So I need to accept I have a past, wash the dirt of my hands, trust that there is a purpose to everything; hold my head high and walk forward.  


The most important thing for me is faith in God.  If I didn't have that foundation of faith it would be so easy to become consumed with bitterness and anger.  But, I have seen Gods work in my life and I have seen him work in others when they allow his love and spirit to move within them.  I believe in Gods word, that he has great and beautiful things planned for me in this life.  I also have a purpose here and it's through the fulfillment of that purpose that I will experience the happiness of my inheritance.  


I have strayed from the path and that's ok - God has planned for that and it's up to me to take the lessons from that experience and continue on with my purpose.  Forgive myself, trust myself and move forward.

Trust it...

This is amazingly true.  So many times we sit in sorrow and self pity when things are so bad we can't see to the other side.  Instead of knowing this is part of how we grow.  


I can't believe it's been 2 years since I left my marriage.  It was the hardest thing I have EVER done!  I didn't think I would be able to do it.  Here I am, 2 years later, sitting in Starbucks reflecting on my journey.  


It's by no means been easy, I still struggle.  My ex is not paying support, he is in a deep, deep depression - not working.  He is struggling with his alcohol addiction and cannot see the light through the trees.  


I must keep going.  I have a son to raise, I'm Mom and Dad right now.  I have to stay in a strict budget.  I thank God I HAVE a budget to stick to!  It could be NO money!!  Praise God is what I say, I have some money left after bills.  


I choose to see this as my finest moment.  Although sometimes I feel stuck and I feel like I have no direction, I keep going - Forward.  Just keep moving! It may not seem like it now, at this moment, but There is a purpose, there is a reason.  


Trust it, Trust HIM!

I BELIEVE

I just wanted to post a prayer and praise God for his work in my life!  


I look around me and I don't have much but, I have enough.  It's not great right now but, we are ok.  


I have Love, I have God and I have family!!  I feel so blessed by God.  Some little part of my heart (God speaking to my 'feelings,' as the little boy said) is telling me things will be better someday! 


 This is a part of my journey that is tough.  I must have had some lessons to learn, I am 'becoming' who I'm supposed to be and that only happens through tough, dark, difficult times; that's when we grow, that's when we become who we are at the core.  


Thank you Jesus for taking care of me and Jake.  We are ok.  We are growing.  We will become who God needs us to be!  


My heart smiles at the wings I am growing to fly into my future!  


Heavenly Father give me the direction in which to fly!
