Im so HAPPY and its ALL about ME (right now)

Everyone knows how hard everything has been on me and my children for at least 2 yrs. And I just knew the Lord was going to change things around for me this year. You know when you know something great is going to happen and you just can't shake the feeling well I had that feeling since the beginning of the year. I knew it was going to be about US this year! Well, even though I went from a home with our own rooms to none; to having at least some money to buy my kids some McDonald on the weekends I pick them up to not being able to afford the dollar menu anymore. BUT, I have tried so hard not to let anything get me down and I am somewhat succeeding. I've made it further than I would have ever imagined! I surprised myself! hahaha Well first off, I was able to get a girls night with Lisa a couple of weeks ago that I haven't been able to do for a long time and it was so relaxing. Second, I have more support at the home I am living at now than I did when I was living with my grandmother. Third, Alex has made some serious changes (still needs A LOT) and has really helped me and the kids. Fourth, I have come closer to God than I ever thought I would. Fifth, I got so much from Alex for Valentines, reason why I was so surprised is because I never really thought that he really thought of me you know. Sixth, now I am really excited about this, Lisa has invited me to the MAVS game on March 3rd and OH MY GOD, I have ALWAYS wanted to go to a game.

This is what I am trying to get at... For so long, I have busted my butt, put up with so much, only took care of my kids, and still struggling to keep going that I have never had time for ME. And this year has been turning for me and it feels so amazing you know. The reason my kids benefit from this is because sometimes a mother can take on so much and never feel appreciated and when something happens without you knowing or asking for YOU it takes so much stress off of you and you see how people really think of you. So momma is getting taking care of a little which makes momma a little more enjoyable for her kids. Do you get it?? I DO!

Thank you Lord for showing me the great things that can come out of any and all struggles that I may face and the wonderful friends and family you have placed with me to help keep me going.
