Sometimes I wonder how I got to this place in my life. When I think where I was just a couple of years ago and where I am now it blows me away. It seems a lifetime ago and I think to myself "who was that person 2 years ago? was that really me?". Most importantly why had my life completely changed yet once again?

Five years ago I went through a life altering change. Then life seemed settled and secure. Apparently that is NOT the plan God had for me. It made another drastic change again. That change was harder to get through and I spent over year trying to understand it and why it had to happen.

The answer was always right in front of me but I was blinded by the past. Little things over the last several months clued me in that I was so much better off but this past week I realized just how much God has been protecting me and more importantly my son.

I always thank God for my son. He is the reason I wake up and breathe every day but mostly because he is just so great (even during these teenage years). I definitely thank God for my Greg. He has been so patient through my life changing experiences. Most men would have walked away. I hope I never take him for granted again.

Mostly, Thank You, Lord for knowing what is best even when I refuse to see it.
