Dear God,
Over the past couple of weeks it has seemed that I walked into a hurricane. I could see the garbage and debris of others swirling around me! So many times I've asked You to not let pain hurt me: stroke, heart attack and the like. Thank you God for your grace.
Stress will take us out. Thank you for peace in all of the situations that I am trying to balance.
All my life God you have been both mother and father to me and I thank you. All of my life I have had to learn to lean on You and depend on You.
You brought me through a household without being molested.
You brought me through an abduction without being raped and killed.
You are bringing me through a mother who drug use has spread like a cancer to others that I love.
You are bring me family members that rather turn a blind-eye than be accountable for their culpability
You are bringing me through single-parenting.
You are bringing me through loss of employment.
I stopped exercising for a minute, but I'm back. Those three brownies I ate on Thursday ... the war is on.
20 minutes on the bike this morning. Need to get a carpet shampooer and then to the pilates bench and treadmill.
Through all of this I thank you.
Yolanda
