No regrets, no tears, no feelings of remorse, wouldn't change it for any other..
My younger years were spent raising all six children without much money..
We survived, we struggled, we worshiped, we dug in , didn't we honey ?
Not once did I say, nor did I feel my life wasn't enough or I wished for more..
For God was and remains my Captain, my Savior, my Redeemer, my Christ, my Lord..
I ventured into this life never knowing what He had in store..
Though we were without much, we never felt neglected, we were never poor..
Challenged often, there were obstacles, we climbed many mountains, we had to endure..
Nothing was especially easy, I prayed for tools only The Lord could give, for sure..
Faith was the cornerstone for this once younger woman , to overcome tests and storms..
Storms that nearly capsized our journey that would have given "the destroyer" our home..
I look back now and realize, now more than ever.. He was and remains My Protector...
He gave me strength to face the hardships, at times, unsurmountable disasters...
He told me many times as I struggled, as I pleaded and prayed for wisdom and grace..
"You're not to give up- you can and must go on-I am here with you... Regardless the ordeals you ultimately face"...
With His commands, and with His armor, I stood before each sacrifice and gave it all to Him..
He always and still does fills my cup to the brim..
Sometimes, especially now, I stand amazed as I look back on the sacrifices I made..
I praise The Lord .. For without His strength, His guidance and his Love.. I am sure I would have never been brave...
With that being said my child, my love..
Never go alone when life gets rough ...
Cling to The Lord , He will always see you through.. Every challenge, every hardship, every
happiness too !!
Psalm 23
