“Our life is sometimes a struggle that human beings have a hard time overcoming no matter how smart or experienced. Divine intervention is the only answer. I feel sorry for those who don’t know to ask God. I can’t imagine my life without His help. He has helped me out of so many jams in my life I can’t remember half of them. When I look out in the future I have hope because I know that no matter what comes my way God will be there to guide me and get me out of yet another mess. I know that I’ll still struggle and make my life harder that it needs to be even though I have great intentions to always remember to lean on God. Every day I will try again to get it right, to do it God’s way, and seek His advice and solace first. Every day I will remember His infinite grace and love for me. I will make a list of what I’m grateful for again. Once again I will put the worldly concerns and desires aside and open my heart to the Lord. I will never give up and never leave the Lord. “Been there!-Done that!” I’ve lived long enough to know that I’m nothing without Him. My feeble attempts to live and create a healthy life alone have failed miserably. I may not be the smartest person around but I’m bright enough to know that “my way” doesn’t work for the long haul. My long haul is eternity with God. I am going to trust my journey to Him and He is the only one who knows the way.”
