Hidden Homelessness


The "hidden" homeless are everywhere. I know because I am one of them. However, I take every day as a step of faith, and deal with the circumstances for that day. I used my talents, skills, and abilities to help others and keep my self focused on re-building my life for myself, my family, and my children. However, many give up and turn to other things that pull them further away from rebuilding their life. I choose to be a testimony of inspiration to others. And while I am still walking this journey, I look for inspiration to keep me focused. It's a hard walk, but hey, like they say, I guess some one has to do it! But there are many, many others doing it too....

Just a Thank You for the Journey


Thank you God for the answer to my little prayer! I see You working over the last few days, although I don't understand this journey, I do see that the more I trust You, You will open doors that I never could have own my own.
You know my battle most intimately, every detail, every step that can make or break me. Especially the last few weeks, you know Lord how hard it has been.
But I am giving it all to You. The tears, the worries, the stress, the joys - For there is no way I could make this journey on my own.
I am finding more and more that every step over the last 6 years is for a reason. All of it the good, the bad, the painful, the unexpected... I see that I am being shaped and changed ..for a reason ...for a purpose.
Everyday is a battle, a struggle, and really another chance to give in to the vultures. However, I am made of so much more than I have ever given myself credit for.
I am thankful for the small steps. For it is in the journey of the small steps, that we find our biggest surprise. Being thankful for the small steps, is a learning process. And once you can learn to do this, it makes way for the bigger blessing to come your way.
I am grateful for this experience, and although I know the battle is not over, I can begin to have appreciation for the walk.
For I am still a LladynWaitn...
