Can I get a do Over?

"Boy there are things that I really wish I could "do over" or time I'd like to get back". If you sit long enough thinking that and reminiscing about what you had, you can actually get physically sick! And AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!! You are where you are because it's where you've placed yourself. Sometimes still, I look at what my friends have and what they've accomplished and I get urgh because I don't. But then those same friends, the REAL ONES that is, don't make me feel less than, they treat me just the very same. I'm not less than but = to and that feels totally AWESOME!! I can't get my teenage years back, they're long gone! My twenties aren't coming back either. But here I am thriving in my 30's, doing things that I had once began to give up hope on!! I don't have to wish on a star neither do I need a "do over". I'm where I should be <3

Working Mommy's Plight

Today I thought I would have been a little sad because I'm missing out on my 5 year old twins Mother's Day celebrations and I'm used to ALWAYS at events!! I'm so blessed to have Rhulaunda E. Donald as a friend, sistergirl, mother of my godson and teacher to one of the twins, she called me and put me on speaker phone so that I could "be" at their celebrations today!!! Thank you Rhu, that meant a lot to me. It's teachers like you, Courtney Santos, Courtney Hodges, Lyndsey Keith and more that go out of your way to make great things happen for our children!! <3 you all!

Beyond Blessed and Thankful

God is always showing Himself to me even in the midst of the chaos. Right now tears were streaming down my face as I sat at my desk, not from sadness or sorrow, but out of pure joy and thankfulness. If ya'll remember I was deathly ill last June, had no health insurance and I accrued thousands of dollars worth of medical bills! Well the hospital called me to let me know that my once over $5,000 balance is now 0! The weight and pressure lifted as the counselor talked to me all I could do was cry as she told me. So even when you think He doesn't hear you because things are not going as you think they should, just know that He WILL work it out for you!!! ..Feeling so blessed right now
