Choices

   I have been through my trials, and tests, and climbed some treacherous mountains. With hospital bills totalling nearly 3 grand looming over my head on my part time income, I am giving it up to God. I am learning that he will totally provide in ways I never thought possible.  Not to step on any toes, or brag (I think I have been doing that a lot) but I must say that through it all I am in a perpetual good mood. Ddespite everything that's happened in the past 2 years nothing could bring me down at this point in my life. I think I have found my meadow. There isn't a complete absence of stresses and hardships but I have made a choice to have a positive perspective about them. My wonderful friend Kim gave me a book while I was pregnant called The Noticer by Andy Andrews. If anyone is struggling with seeing the good in trials and hard times you have got to read this book. It's not overly spiritual but I saw so profoundly why bad things happen to good people. It is all about the perspective you have on a situation. It is a choice and it is my choice to view difficult times as a learning process to become a stronger more balanced woman.
      I love my job because each day when I get there and open up my email there is a devotion and a daily prayer in my inbox. God will always find a way to speak to us if we are willing to listen. I can truly feel God's love for me and looking back on my trials I see why I went through what I went through.
      I pray that as Royce grows he sees my peace and understands that it's all due to the Lord's goodness. My prayer request for now is that I only do things that are according to His will. I just want to follow Him in every aspect of my life. He is SO GOOD!
    Royce just got some mean hiccups sitting here with me so I need to wrap it up. Praise God, be joyful!
