I am thankful for the friends who stuck by my side through out the past 17 months. Who never once left me hanging, whether they agreed with my decisions or not. Who never put me down but instead, encouraged me and lifted me up. I needed it. I know I am no where CLOSE to where I am called to be. In fact, I think I’m finally taking a step in the right direction. At least I’m trying to. I’ve spent a lot of time asking God to  show me someone who has encountered what I’ve gone through and that I will get through this because I do not always feel like I will. I show people that I’m strong, but a lot of the time I  am very very weak. On Sunday, someone came up to me and told me how great I am with Isaiah and how they love to watch us together. It really melted my heart. I’m 20 years old, and I’m trying so hard but sometimes I just don’t feel like I’m doing a good enough job. I gave him a father that doesn’t do much for him and it hurts my heart because its MY fault. I seek my parents approval and would love to hear that they’re proud of me. Only last week did I hear it from my father. The same person who came up to me on Sunday has been keeping in contact with me since, and has been sharing their testimony with me. Seeing how God brought them through their single-mother-hood,  broken-hearted and broken family situations gives me hope. Hope For A Better Future.

If God calls you to reach out to someone, do it. Don’t hesitate. You don’t know how much of an impact you really have. How much you can encourage and help someone. I am so grateful that this person tore down her walls and became so personal with me to show me hope. To show me encouragement. Thank You.
