Amazing

It is truly amazing what God can do in your life when you let Him.

The last twelve months have been a roller coaster of change for our little family. We experienced job losses, job gains, bankruptcy, foreclosure, repossession, birth, relocation, sadness, uncertainty, joy, surprises, and an unbelievable wealth of blessings.

A year ago, I was five months pregnant and newly unemployed. We were facing the loss of our house and the world seemed dark and cruel. I couldn't understand how God would "let" this happen to us. I didn't understand how people could be so heartless and unfair.

Today, I am blessed to be able to stay at home with our wonderful, healthy, energetic children. I am fortunate enough to not have to worry where our next meal will come from, or what bill collectors will be threatening us next. We are facing another move, but this time it is exciting, positive, and full of hope.

If you can learn to be quiet, to be still, and to let go, it is amazing what can happen in your life. Things don't always work out the way YOU want them to. And we aren't promised a life without pain and suffering. But if you trust, if you truly take your hands off the wheel and stop trying to drive the bus yourself, you will at least open yourself to the possibility of peace and joy.

Love, hugs, and blessings,
The Mama
