This holiday season, I am filled with love! God is good! Be THANKFUL for what is in front of you. If you asked me 2 years ago if I thought I would be where I am today, I was misguided, I was so discouraged with life. I thought God was punishing me for my sins but he has truly blessed me and taught me what matters is not what I've done but how I learned from my mistakes and how to change for the better.
For 7 years, He has given me my husband, who has put up with so much from me and loved me even at my worst, who is an amazing provider and who helps make my dreams a reality. He has blessed me with my son, whom we prayed and struggled for, who made me truly understand unconditional love and patience and believe that miracles happen every day!
2 of my very dear friends are battling this struggle of becoming a mother daily and I pray for them every single day to be able to one day feel the love a child brings. I pray God gives them the strength to know that he has a plan in place. He is working on the perfect child and whether it's given to them through conception, artificially, adoption, He has a plan!
1 of my friends is contemplating even having a child naturally because of a medical condition with her and her husband. Adoption is an option however I would still recommend doing tests and figuring out all of your options and percentages of anything being passed on.
I pray for all the helpless children who don't have a loving foundation, ones who are helpless and neglected. I can't imagine how a person who has a child can not feel the love and joy they are. Parents who are not fit to be who should not conceive have babies left and right and punish them for breathing.....I pray for you because come judgement day, you will have God to answer to.
I pray for the children who are bullied, who have nobody to confide in. Who are afraid of walking out the door, in fear of what people will say that day. For the ones who are suicidal because mean and hurtful things people say to them.
I pray for the evildoers. In a perfect world, we wouldn't have bad things happen but we do, we have it every day, all around us. It is how we deal with it that matters and we all answer to ONE GOD!
I can pray, I can understand things or I can't understand, I can't change things out of my control, but what I can do is be thankful! I am thankful for life, the one that was given to me and for the guidance to get me where I am today. I could have been one of those children who was abused, neglected, bullied....but I'm not. I am perfectly happy with the life chosen for me and I will appreciate every waking moment I have with the ones who mean the most.
