Growing

Life has been hectic the last few months. Learning how to become and intepreter and trying to make decisions about my future have made my head spin! I love where life is right now and everything that has been happening. God has blessed me with a wonderful man who loves me and takes care of me. School is going well. I love learning to interpret! It's difficult but learning the culture and language is quite fun. I think that God lets us go through times of difficulty so that we can become stronger through the experience. Although i've had an easy life in some ways, there is always difficulty and struggles. My problems have always come through people. I have made and lost many friends in my lifetime and each one has hurt in a different way. I used to freely give trust, feeling that everyone I met would be my best friend that I could tell anything. Throughout the past 6 years I have discovered that not everyone has your best interest at heart. But for the first time I can look back at those experiences and thank God for putting me through them. I may not have been thankful at the time, I was hurting too much. But as I look back on the situations life, and God have put before me I just feel thankful. I am thankful for the pain that will probably never completely fade away, I am thankful for the people I CAN trust that God has given me, I'm thankful for the lost friendships because they made me stronger. I'm thankful for the strong woman I have become today. Thank you God for the many blessings you have placed in my life. I have never felt more loved than I do now and I don't feel like I would have been able to appreciate it if I hadn't felt the pain of people not loving or liking me. Thank you God for the wonderful parents you gave me. I may get frustrated with them but I know that they love me with their entire being and for that I am grateful. Thank you for Brandon, and the love and care that he shows me everyday. and thank you for the sacrifice you made when you gave me your son so that I would be able to experience life to the fullest, with the promise of continued life with you when this life is over...........
