As 2010 is ending,
This year has been the hardest of my life. It has been the most life changing. I am thankful to God for every moment; the good and bad. I am grateful for the times where I felt so alone and lost. It was in those life-breakings moments that I was most changed.
I began this year with nothing. Nothing in wealth, in material, in education, in a future, in spirituality.
I was given all these things.
I have a job and within a few months I was promoted; given a full-time position with benefits. I enrolled into Broward College with the intention of finishing my associates degree. I didn't know how long it would take me, because I can only pay for one class at a time. But I have a scholarship now, and all my classes are paid for. I no longer have my own apartment, which I did earlier this year, but I am out of a relationship which was no healthy for me or my daughter. I have a future.... I should graduate with my AA by the end of this upcoming semester. I have a job that pays me decently, where I get healthcare, and which provides a place for my daughter to learn and grow safely. I have my mom and sister, which has never given up on me. I have a church home in Sheridan Hills, which has lifted me up and taught me so much. I have a bestfriend and hopefully a future with Ryan, who has never stopped telling me that I should not give up on life.
I am grateful beyond myself. I don't want to make any implication that I was able to do any of this myself. It is with God's grace that I have been given my life. It is with Christ, our Father, that I can kneel here today and be thankful. <3
