There are days where I live in the now. I have a wonderful Lord, a loving husband, 3 beautiful and fun children, a house, money, a church...the list is long of blessings. I know.
But on occasion I am living in a one bedroom apartment in VA or TX and I am trapped and abused and angry, but I did have my Lord and my child.
Both of those parts of my life have brought me closer to the Lord. My life has brought me to appreciate so much and relate to so many. I don't want to ever forget but I do not allow myself to live as a victim of what I have been through. I hope I remember that on days when I forget how good I have it and on the days I know I am blessed.
