Brick Walls

-
Walking through this maze called life I've hit a lot of Brick Walls; some were a direct result of some things I've done and others just popped up because that's the way life is. Most recently I've dealt with the loss of one of my favorite Great-Aunts, my grandmother having her leg amputated, and a horrible migraine flare-up; but I am still here pushing through each and every obstacle!
Don't get me wrong there have been some tears shed and a few days where I've wanted to throw in the towel, but I know that is not the answer. I know God did not bring me this far to leave me and I trust that better days are coming! My family and myself will continue to tear down each and every one of these walls that keep trying to hold us back because we were made for this. God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers and as long as I lean on his promises over my life I will be okay. Thanks for all the encouragement, prayers, love, and support throughout all of this. I hope that by sharing my story I can inspire other people to keep pushing through life's challenges no matter how hopeless things may seem at times!!!!

    One thing about brick walls though.... they don't just pop up they're built brick by brick so they take time to build up. But although it takes time to build them... just like the demolition of of the walls of a building.... with the right tools. . You can knock them down really fast... but the tools (mind) has to be right.

Broken beyond repair

At times I wonder if I'll ever be fixed...will I break the cycle of living paycheck to paycheck? Will I raise children that do not have to recover from their childhood? Will my marriage happily last till death do us part? Will I overcome depression and anxiety? Will I die happy? The answer is within me and that's the honest truth. It will require hardwork, determination, faith, consistency, and the ability to live outside of my comfort zone until I begin to see my dreams come true. The crazy thing is I've done it before. Throughout all the adversity I've faced in my 32 years of life I've accomplished a lot of goals that people didn't think I would. I graduated from high school with a scholarship to the college I wanted to go to. I have my associates degree in general studies. I completed the LPN program after withdrawing due to personal reasons my first go round. I've overcame a lot of obstacles in my marriage that would have broken many homes. I forgave m

I want my parents

-
I've spent most of my life wishing my parents were more involved in my life than they are. After I was born they both fell victim to drug addiction which forced me to be raised by my grandparents. I would only see my mother on holidays if I was lucky and I saw my dad just about every other weekend, but as I entered my teenage years things began to change. I'll admit I was a very rebellious teenager and didn't have a lot of guidance because my grandmother didn't know how to handle that area of parenting. Being an orphan at 13 and not raising her own children gave her the impression that once I hit thirteen I could make my own decisions. During this time my grandfather had also just moved out so my emotions were all over the place. Although my dad was now sober he had very little tolerance for disrespect so instead of helping me get my life on track he isolated himself from me and told me I was no longer welcomed in his home at the age of fifteen....boy did that hurt.

I want to give up...

-
I am mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually exhausted. Quitting seems like a viable option. The only thing that's keeping me going is my faith in God and his promises to me, but at what point is that not enough? It seems that no matter how hard I fight to get up something keeps knocking me down. It's so discouraging and overwhelming. I'm emotionally numb because I know if I allowed myself to feel I would be an emotional mess, but how long can I go on like this? I try to tell myself life is hard and things could be worse because I know they could, but I'm tired of being stagnant. No matter what I do I just can't seem to catch a break. I feel like I need a do over, but that's not possible. I have to play the hand I was dealt. I know that I if I keep showing up everyday eventually the day will come when all of this will be a distant memory, but I pray that day comes sooner than later because I feel like giving up!
