With Thanksgiving coming up I decided to share how thankful I am.
Two years ago December 5th my life fell apart. Everything I had worked towards, all my plans and dreams were shattered. The future I'd been planning for my whole life was changed by a choice I had no control over. I was rejected, abandoned, depressed, alone, and pregnant. I was sad as well as angry at the injustice I'd been handed.
On that day I began a long hard road towards an uncertain future. Today I am blessed by a beautiful daughter whom I was given sole custody. It is the most amazing gift to be blessed with the child I have always dreamed of.
To everyone of my friends who cried, prayed, and listened to me during that rough year, THANK YOU!
To my savior Jesus Christ who rescued my heart and put the pieces back together, THANK YOU!
To every guy who said he wished he could beat up my ex, THANK YOU!
To every late night call I made that my girlfriends answered, THANK YOU!
To an amazing church and pastor who held my hand through it all, THANK YOU!
To my church and bio family who held me while I cried, THANK YOU!
To my amazing parents who provide a way for me to stay home with my daughter, THANK YOU!
To my new friends in Mississippi who make me feel less alone, THANK YOU!
Today I know something I never knew before, I am special, I am loved, and I am wanted. I am fun, beautiful, and above all else I am strong and I am me!
You all have blessed me in ways I can not begin to share!
To everyone who serves OR HAS SERVED in our American military to ensure freedom, THANK YOU!
To the families that live without husbands and fathers, sons and daughters, wives and mothers, to protect our freedom, THANK YOU!
TO ANYONE WHO HAS LOST SOMEONE TO THIS ENDEAVOR TO PRESERVE FREEDOM I APPRECIATE THE SACRIFICE AND MY DAUGHTER WILL ALSO.
You are all my heroes but most of all, Thanks to the God who sent every one of these blessings to me! He completes me like no one else ever can or will. I have not walked this road alone.
I wonder what next year will bring?
