Good morning all! It's a beautiful morning, the sun is shining and the birds are enjoying the wealth of food they find in my backyard! Ok, here's my blog for today. I am writing a book of "rants" and here's an entry that I really like! Hope you enjoy!
This rant is one of my favorite subjects: Faith, hope and never losing sight of the dream. What dream, you may ask? Your dream. Whatever dream it may be. This world has lost sight of the things unseen and the power they create when believed in. Belief being the food for faith and hope. You must believe in them for growth to take place.
This is not simply my pipe dream. I know from my own life, this is truth. At some undefinable point in my life, things took an awful turn for the worse. For the many years that followed, all the struggles, the heartbreaks, the let downs and so much more, I slowly descended into disbelief and sorrow. I have fought tragedy and depression as being my way of life, with the belief that if I gave in, I would lose myself and consequently lose my life. I am not, nor will I ever be complacent enough to accept those things as an acceptable way of life. This is NOT an option.
So, I prayed alot, cried alot and still, somewhere I found that my faith and my hope had not been lost, just buried. I hung on, I made a choice, one that saved my life, one that anyone can make.
I love you all!

Hello everyone! We had a wonderful Easter Sunday with lots of family and friends. The babies had so much fun and we all enjoyed our day! My topic today is about not being afraid to ask for help. Seems lots of people these days think they can handle everything alone. They have too much pride or they believe people will think bad of them if they ask. Asking for help takes a good amount of strength and taking the help and acting on it takes even more. That's what we're supposed to do for one another. Asking for help should never be misconstrued as a weakness. No one is above asking for help. The key to asking for help is to not ask for someone to do it for you, but to ask for encouragement while you do the task at hand. See how the sun's peeking over the storm clouds? That's what we can accomplish with help. The wind is blowing the clouds aside so the sun can do it's thing! With the help of the wind, the sun can get on with it's goal to light up the earth and feed it with it's lovely rays! Maybe not the greatest analogy but I think you see the comparison! Short blog today, but I love you all!
