Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone!!! I just wanted to tell you a little story about something that recently happened to me that was all the proof I needed for the doubts I had within... He is real... He is listening... and He is with all of us...
A couple of days ago I almost got into an argument with my boyfriend b/c I had a mad face and just gave him a "nothing" when he asked what was wrong... I thought about the program... I thought about the issues I am in process of overcoming and decided... "You know what... I'll tell you what's bothering me"... I started to tell him how my 2nd job was stressing me out... It has been stressing me out mentally also lately and I don't want to work a 2nd job anymore.... I have been there for 5 months and need 7 more months to get the dental benefits which I need SOOOO BAD!!!!! He told me to leave the job and that we would pay out of pocket (I found that surprising by the way) I felt that would put more stress on us also and just told him "we'll figure something out"... No more than 5 minutes later he comes into the bathroom opens the shower door and says "God answered your prayers"... It just so happened that the news that was coming up in a few minutes had a topic of "How to pay half or less on dental work"... OMG!!!!!!! I cannot begin to tell you what that did to me internally... I have to be honest and say my faith was getting low and that was all the proof I needed that God is real and He is with us, when we least expect it... That also made me aware of how important it is to actually let my boyfriend know what's bothering me... he would never have even noticed the tv had I kept my mouth shut... God is good and His mercy endures forever...

E-Lo that is AWESOME!!! That's such a coincidence that you wrote this today, because yesterday I was sooooo overwhelmed and shaky dealing with my twin two yr. olds and my husband came home to me crying. Usually I hide my tears and compose myself BEFORE he gets home. I too use that familiar "Oh NOTHING" when he asked me if there is something wrong... But yesterday was different. Yesterday I "melted down" in front of him and the response was something I didn't expect. He held me and said "I know what you're going through, honey and I'm here for you". For the FIRST time I allowed myself to REALLY open up to him about my stressful days with being Mommy. This program is telling us to be honest with OURSELVES, which in turns helps us continue to be honest with others. I'm happy to hear that you took a step in faith and talked to him, you're right, if you kept silent, he wouldn't have known to tell you about the news story :D congrats on asserting yourself and realizing that your 'feelings" MATTER!!!

God bless you and take care
oh and good luck taking time for yourself and this program :D :D :D you won't be sorry you ever did that!
