Just When You Think Life...

What a week! I have been busier than a one-armed paper hanger! (That is one of my Mom's favorite sayings) She also likes "You're about as handy as a pocket in an undershirt!" or "You're as slow as molasses in January! or my favorite "You're as useless as boobs on a boar!" (She says it a little more crass, but I will edit for comment sake!) But, I digress. Anyhoo, as I said, what a week! Ups and downs! You name it, I felt it. But, I had to share the power of positive thinking and prayer story, because it helped me remember that I am never alone in my struggles. I just get busy feeling sorry for myself and forget. I had a major blow occur this week. I won't share the details, nothing irreversible, but it threw me, nonetheless. Let's just say, I was half way to McDonald's to fill my pain with a cheeseburger, when I stopped myself. (Yes I felt THAT bad.) Anyway, after a good long cry, I did what I should have done in the first place. I prayed. Now, I know this sounds cheesy coming from little old jaded me, but I have a firm belief when it comes to prayer, because I have seen what Heavenly Father can do, so bear with me here. The difference is, I truly opened my heart to him and asked him to help me know what to do and I asked him to help me stay strong in the process, so I didn't sabbotage myself. So, I went to bed and slept like a baby. Very strange for me because I tend to stew when troubled. I woke up the next day and went to work and there on my station was a piece of paper with a possible fix to my dilemma. Unsolicited. Coincidence? I don't know if that will totally fix it, but I feel so grateful that I chose to believe He listened to me and helped me. So, I prayed.....again. I said thank you. Now, the moral of this story that is probably too personal, but I don't care because I wanted to share my gratitude with the world. We are not alone in this life. I believe it and I am grateful. I hope all the people in my life that I love and care about know I am here to help also. Anytime. I just needed to share.
