So, today I have been reviewing those blessings in my life. So much has been restored to me.
I have a wonderful sweetheart who is the most gentle soul I have ever known. It's not every woman that has a man who will come into her life, take on eight children, and even choose to have more. Andrew is the answer to so many prayers. Every tear I cried while I tried to make it alone was worth it just to have this incredible man fill in the gaps left in my soul when tragedy struck our family almost six years ago.
I have a new beautiful home that takes the place of the one I left to get a fresh start. It's filled with all of the good things from my past, and all the things that make it "ours". Andrew, once again, took my dreams and fulfilled them by just doing the right thing. He gave me a home to make, when for so long, I was just making do with what I could make happen.
I have myself back. I don't have to fight alone against the world any longer. I thank God the most for that. The journey was absolute hell. There is no nice way to put it.
I have a future that is bright and wonderful that I can look forward to now. I will still look back on the good things with fondness, and the bad things to learn lessons from, hopefully being a wiser woman. Every day I will give thanks with a gratefull heart that God has restored the years the locusts have eaten. (Joel 2 25-32)
Everything that was taken from me in one second has been restored. I am so eternally thankful. Today is a good day. A day that the Lord has made and I will rejoice in it.
Blessings
