Moments that change your walk…

This was actually a post from 5 years ago that I feel someone needs to hear. Be blessed and encouraged.

Have you ever sat and looked back over where you are in your life and wondered how you got there? I do, a lot ... I mean there is no way I could be living where I am short of God literately leading me here, remember? I was supposed to be in Mount Pleasant, Sullivan’s Isle, Charleston... not here. I had never even heard of here so how?

I ask myself quite often and the journey leaves my with God bumps and filled with amazement yet in the flip side, the reality side...had it not been for choices made 2 years ago today that would control the way my life would go for the follow....weeks, months... I don’t know that this move would have happened. Two years ago on this day it took choices and decisions 2 others would make in a series of events that the end result would lead me to here...an action that once revealed days later would lead me through yet more darkness, heartache, loss... loss on a scale so great that the ripple effect of this day is just starting to settle...

Today is the 2 year mark of my daughters assault...Friday the 13th. I was out putting the finishing touches on her surprise Birthday Party. She never liked celebrating birthdays on her birthday so we celebrated on her adoption day... this was a big one her 16th so we were having a party a surprise party to boot. I never would I have imagined what was happening in our home while I was out planning for a celebration...

Never in my wildest dreams did I feel that would play such a huge part in leading me here....I cannot wrap my head around how every dark day, every bad situation, every tip of the edge hopelessness ... turns around for good if we allow God to control the situation and lead us...if IF we turn to His promises and not stay stuck in the darkness... and trust me, full disclosure here it’s hard, really hard...when you are in a pit and the enemy is telling you lies it takes a conscious effort on our part, no a fighting kicking choice for wanting better for believing Gods written truth over what many times are Satans downright visual lies as he is a deceiver... God will not let you down! He may come in the way of an unexpected call, a visitor, a text, package, new friend...those things happen at just the right time just when we need it most....it can even be a cloud or a potato chip in the shape of a heart...a sign from God just reminding you He is right there... I now realize that even in the darkness the best is yet to come and I have learned to let go of how my expectations think it should look God has way better ideas than me😉

Never never be embarrassed or ashamed to asked for guidance or counsel ask God to put the right person in your life...I hate to think where my journey would have been without my mentor then and the one God has blessed me with now...we need accountability and guidance and that’s ok...someone we can lay all our skeletons on the table to and not feel judgment...just acceptance and love💗
