It has been a while since I posted. To be honest, I really stopped posting because I was starting to wonder if the blog was helping anyone other than myself. I pray that it is but if not, I will continue anyway because I feel that this is just something that I must do for me. I believe that this is one of my assignments in life.
The girls and I moved the second week in November. We all like the new place and have settled in comfortably. The girls have never lived in an apartment so this is a new adventure for them. The good thing is the place is not a traditional apartment. It is almost like a townhouse because we have two levels and two full bathrooms. The only thing I am still adjusting to is the smaller kitchen and not having a master bathroom any longer, but these are minor things and I am truly thankful that I found a place like this for rent. Well, this will be home at least for the next year. Even though the apartment is significantly smaller than the single family home we moved from, I feel more at home and settled here than I have in years. You just can not put a price on your peace of mind.
With moving a few weeks before the start of the Holiday seasons, Thanksgiving and Christmas, the remainder of the year seems to be going really fast to me. One of my daughters said yesterday that the year went fast. I started to think that this year was very different for me. With my husband finally moving out of the house this past February and then knowing in my mind that the girls and I had to move because we lost the house, it was a lot to process. Most importantly, I still have to be Mommy! I could not shut down because life still goes on. Life was going to move forward either with me or without me. With 2014 coming to an end, I am regrouping and have to focus and set some goals for 2015. I will be starting the year 2015 in a totally different head space that ever before. Living as a single mom with three amazing young ladies is a tall order but God has equipped me to handle this. Life has given me some really tough blows this year, but looking back on it, I can say that I am still standing! I am still here! I was allowed to live another day because my earthly assignment is not over. I have been in survival mode for so long. Now the time has come for me to really start enjoying life more and to live each new day with great expectations. Also being mindful that if certain doors in life are not opened for me, these are not doors that I am suppose to walk through. It was not my time, but I know that great doors will be opened for me soon. I have to keep the faith and stay positive because my latter will definitely be greater than my past.
