God, I love him!

Yep, Im talkin about Jesus.  Sometimes I wonder how some folks can say that there is no God - but to each his own.  Everyday he is working things out for me.  I sit here right now thinking about how awesome God is and its amazing.  My family moved to the state of Texas because my grandmother listened to what God told her.  he said that her blessing was in Texas. 

Sometimes I think of my relationship with my grandmother can be likened to Ruth and Naomi.  What young woman in her right mind would continue to live with a widowed women who sometimes is ornery?  But I did.  I have always been with my grandmother since I was a little girl, then pre-teen, then teen with my mother on drugs - my grandmother has always been there.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my mother and she will always be my mother and she is a blessed woman of God.  I love them both and they are my strength.

But when I found myself a pregnant, no place to live and operating in the mind set of a physically and verbally abused woman - my grandmother was there.  She gave me the strength to smile everyday while I was pregnant.  And the result of that was a beautiful baby girl that was born with the sun in her smile.   She is the only child I know to wake up with a smile on her face everyday.  She gave me strength to let a toxic relationship die. 

 

And when I met my now husband she was the voice of reason in my ear.  Now that we are in Texas, everything seems to be falling into place.  We arrived in Texas, my husband, myself, granny, my daughter and little brother - age 13.  No jobs, no plans.  But I am soooo glad that when you don't have a plan - God is the master planner.

Its a blessing to know how blessed my family is.  We will be first time homeowners - but the blessing is that we don't have ANY money but God is working it out.  That is our house.  You never know what can happen you put your faith in God.  So I say thank you everyday. And I WILL continue to bless the lord.    I have slept on a sofa bed in a one bedroom apartment for the last 7 years of my life with my daughter........I never imagined my blessing would be this big.  To God be the Glory.

You never know what door will be opened to you if you trust and obey him.
