God is good


My last post was in July and time has flown. It is now December and the main goals I had in my last post I have not met yet. The old me would have beat myself up over it and spiraled into a deep depression. Not the new me. Why you ask? Well because the smaller goals I had in mind are now taking place. I have enrolled in college, I will start in January and Im extremely excited. Finacially Im seeing a lil progress after hitting rock bottom. My child is stable, Im stable, my relationship is stable.... Life has gotten better. This past summer I really felt I was hitting rock bottom and I believe I did emotionally. I shut out alot of people in my life, I felt I needed to. Like I have said in past post I depended on people around me to be my rock to pull me from my struggles. I didnt want that anymore. I knew that what I was going through in my life was something I never experienced in my life before, I knew that I couldnt rely on people to keep saving me. So what happened was my brain, my personalities went on a war pathe with eachother. It was something I wouldnt change if offered. Even though it sucked and I spent alot of days and nights crying and really thinking of running away, I made it through. I conquered my mental instability. I came out stronger. I came out more Independant then how I started. I do not rely on people to make me happy anymore, its not their duty. I make myself happy, sad, etc. I wake up in the morning and decide what mood Im gonna be in even if a bad day is on the horizon. The one person I believe I need to thank for this is GOD. I believe that this was his test. And I passed. I believe it was a wake up call and trust me I finally answered and realize that he needs to be my daily focus and then my family.
What a life experience these past few months have been. Im excited to see whats around the corner.

  2. We are prone to miss the small things when the larger vision goes as yet unrealized. I have realized that one key to happiness lies in an ability to recognize that even if you take two steps forward then one step backward you have still progressed.

    I am pleased to see the new you, the you who takes personal responsibility for her state of mind and state of affairs. Although you may find the animating contest of liberty and responsibility somewhat taxing, the rewards are commensurately greater than for those who passively wait for their worlds to change.

    Once you get into a good place as respects God, it makes life and confidence much easier to manufacture. I'm excited for you too.
