11.4.11

The day that changed me, my life, and my family…… Forever.

Like waves of an ocean, emotions, abuses, relationships, changes, and transitions would come and go causing sands to shift, my footing to shake. Through my faith in a forever loving Lord, I have been able to keep my foundation……. Firm.

I cannot possibly put into words the epic and insurmountable circumstances and hardships that would come about in the last six years, losses so unthinkable I can barely speak of such. Some suffer none in a whole lifetime.

However, what I have continued to see is the power of CHOICE. Through it all, I have the power to choose….. my reactions, my responses, my attitudes, my actions…. and my will to forgive, and rise above the situations that seek to pull me down to the grave and into a depression I could never come out of. But God…… only He can orchestrate such a comeback.

Today, 6 years later, I stand firmly grateful, knowing that out of loss, I have the power to choose to see what I have gained. How I have held on……. with his Hand at work, changing who I am, helping me to BECOME who I have always been meant to be.

Loss is not the end…… it can be just the beginning…….This can be YOUR story.

Thanks be to God for giving my children the father they were meant to have in their lives for the 23 years he was here on the earth.

And thanks to our friends, on the east and west coast, who have been such a wonderful support. We love you all.

New November.
