Praise Be to God

These couple weeks have been quite tumultuous and scary, but the one thing that I have relied upon is that God has eyes that are unblemished by human circumstance. My God places people for a purpose. You might think you are there for one reason, but when the pages of life are turned you see God's hands in everything. He has plans for us and desires only good. I praise the Holy Spirit in guiding me far away from home to be here with my immediate family during the loss of my maternal grandmother. I am here with a renewed outlook on who my father is to me, and feel grateful for God opening my eyes to having given me the parents He had given me because He chose the right ones for me. I might not have believed this growing up or even weeks ago, but this moment I do and nothing can change the way I feel about my parents and siblings even my David and son Tien. My heart breaks hearing Tien cry for his father, but God is showing me how to be patient and kind and loving to my son to encourage and give him a place to seek comfort when he needs his Mommy's lovin' to cheer him up. I praise God for giving me this opportunity to do what He requires of my walk in this life, and I am eternally grateful more and more as each moment passes.
