My first Blog

I have never done this before but thought I would join the crowd and give it a try. I have been journaling for a while and this is another way for me to express my thoughts. A few months ago I was blindsided my husband of eleven years was served with child support papers. I was crushed I didn't know what to do we were already hurting financially and now here was this extra income being taken out. at this time I was only working part time and I was getting ready to start school. But God always has a plan shortly after I was offered a promotion to store manager and accepted to offer. I won't deny that the road is still hard there is now a twelve year old boy in our lives along with his mother. I have never thought of myself as a jealous person but the green monster has reared its ugly head on more than one occasion. Like I said the road is tough but I Can only imagine what is waiting on the other side of this. God has worked wonders in our lives throughout this. At Christmas we were so down my husband and I were fighting everyday and we weren't sure what we were going to get our children for Christmas. I know it is not about the gifts but to go to the store and not have the money to get your children a Christmas gift was devastating. We were able to spend Fifty dollars per child and wondered if it would be good enough. Again God looked out for us A few weeks before Christmas a dear friend from church said that someone wanted to do something for us for Christmas, then another person from church said she thought of my boys as surrogate grand kids and had something for them, then here came a blessing of $100.00 in gift cards to Walmart! The Christmas that almost wasn't turned into the best one ever. You see we all learned a valuable lesson this year, We didn't need all the stuff just knowing there were people who really cared was the best Christmas gift we ever needed.
