Tough but Blessed Times

[queenm77]

I have been through quite a couple of changes these past couple of weeks. Where to start, we've lost our home, we were just renting but, it was still home.Our car conked out and we only had one payment left, so with no other choice, we had to get another used one because both our jobs were a distance from our home and the hours I work are late hours. My husbands new job has been quite unstable with the weather and all. He works in construction, with my help, we've been trying to find him something better, but no luck so far. So, right now me and my 2 youngest are living with my sister, he's staying with his grandmother, because her house is full, our 15 year old is living with his cousin and her kids and our 18 year old is living with her best friend. This is only temporarily so hopefully we'll be able to find something soon.In spite of our circumstances, I can honestly say I'm not depressed about it, grant it I was sad at first but I believe that every cloud has a silver lining. I'm staying POSITIVE because I know in my heart tough times don't last always. I just thank God for blessing us with our health and blessing us with family who opened their homes to us. I look at our situation as a test of our faith and how we choose to deal with what Life has thrown us. I believe that every thing happens for a reason and I know God has a better plan for us. Where one door closes, another one opens, it's how you choose to view the situation.I know our situation could be a lot worse so I choose to concentrate on what I have and not concentrate on what I don't have. I thank you Father for giving me the strength to endure. I thank you Father for blessing be with your love and forgiveness in spite of the mistakes I've made. I know in my heart that with your love and forgiveness a better road lies ahead for me and my family. So, I put my heart and trust in you cause I know that you will never forsake or abandon me in my time of need. If I can't count on anyone else, I know I can count on you.
