Alright, so it may have been a while since I've blogged, however, I am going to make it a point to take time each & every day to do it. today, the reason is that I have so much i want to get out & here seems to be the appropriate place for me to do such a thing...
Out of complete chaos, comes some incredible lessons & even more incredible miracles. Dear God, although I haven't been on here too terribly much, I have to just say that there are truly no words for what I feel I need to express. Every day, when we say our prayers, we always have so much to be grateful for, yet I feel compelled more than usual to put what I can in words. When you have noting, you learn how truly blessed & fortunate you are. I have learned what is most important to me in life from our current circumstances. There is nothing more important to me than my loved ones & my faith.
As for my continuous gratitude journal, yesterday, Linda & Fred informed me that they are giving us their old mini van. They bought a new vehicle & are passing their van on to us. So, for my next gratitude post...
I am so very grateful for our newish friends, Fred & Linda. They were brought into our lives at a time of struggle & without hesitation, not only offered to help a family, who was nothing more than a passing acquaintance, if even, but they have helped us by providing us with reliable transportation, with some food, with some money & even some clothes for Miya. They helped us without accepting anything in return. & they are continuing to do so, by giving us a mini van. I have no words to express how much of a blessing this is & how grateful & appreciative I am that I took the bold step that day to simply ask Linda for directions. More proof that everyone we meet has a purpose. they remind me of why I do the thing I do, when I am in a more stable position. & even not being financially stable, why I still help in any way I can, whether it is time, or services, etc... Someone always has it worse than you think you do & it is no one's place to judge.
Carrie Blake... although I have not met her yet, she is my gratitude journal entry for today. Without even knowing me, she has offered to help me & my family in a way that I will be forever grateful to her for.. someday, I will be able to pay it forward in a huge way! <3 font="font">
My heart is so full for so many different reasons. However, to quit getting distracted from the original topic of this post, GRATITUDE!!!!
I am grateful to my mom, who has surprised me with how thoughtful she is about Miya. She definitely looks out for her grand daughter's education.
Erin, who gave me the huge opportunity to meet Erin & join the leadership group which has helped set me on the path I will use for my success in all aspects of my life & with all people.... God, family, friends, business acquaintances, etc... personal growth is HUGE!!!!
Stacey... I am so glad we met!!! I immediately liked you from the first time we spoke & I am eager about the potential learning & growing possibilities that may be provided to me professionally & personally.
Grandma & Grandpa Kren... I have no words for the love & support you have shown us, in all regards. It really has got us through some rough stuff. <3 font="font">
Xander Joseph. You are going to be like a certain little miss I know. You'll be here before we know it & just like Missy Moo, you have already been through quite a bit. I wonder what you are going to be like & there's one thing of which I am certain... like your sister, you are going to be resilient & smart, & for that I am beyond grateful!
I am blessed & fortunate I get to spend time with my baby girl & see her grow up to be such an incredible little personality.
The fact I get to do a job I enjoy & am passionate about is also a huge blessing & something for which I am grateful.
Every life experience... the good & bad, happy & sad, everything... for, without those experiences, I would not have been provided the opportunity for growth in certain areas of my life. Though we are still going through things now, once we are settled & stable again, the pain will make the peace that much more sweet!
Every new day provides me with the opportunity for a fresh new start.
Grateful for being provided enough to get by...
