Thank You!!

Just wanted to start by thanking everyone for their loving and kind responses to my last blog. I feel by the grace of God that I am truly blessed in many ways. One of them is my great and loving family and friends.

I would just like to add this. Even if you come from a crappy childhood or a crappy life in general. You can always at any time turn it around. You just got to choose to do it. There are many more routes I could have taken when I was a teenager and when I was a young adult. Like so many children that have grown up in some type of abuse of home. They feel that they have lost hope and love. And even though this is hard to do; you can turn all the negatives into positives. You need to have some since of strength and believe in yourself. There is hope for change. You have choices and options. You don't have to live that life of crazy if you choose not to. You just got to want it, and listen to you inner voice.

I can tell you this; I have learned out of my experience from growing up with crazies. I have learned what type of parent I don't want to be. I have learned not to take everything at face value. I have learned not to pretend that everything is okay when it's not. It's hard sometimes to forget all the bad habits that you learned from your parents, and not use them in your everyday life. Some of them are still a struggle for me.

Like everyone, I am still learning that I can't please everyone. I'm not perfect. I'm not always right.(even though I like to think I am.) I am still learning to say I'm sorry when I have been wrong. And I'm still learning about myself. I am thankful for God and all that he has done in my life. When I was younger I always felt his presence. I remember praying to him and asking " Is this it? Is this the way life is for me?" I still ask him that question. Even though I know the answer I will still ask. Because I know that God is building me and growing me into a bigger and better person. He has saved me in so many different ways and levels. Guiding me into my path in life. Even when I get off course he points me in the direction I'm suppose to be going.

John 4:42
They said to the woman, " We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world."
