It’s been quiet here for awhile, with no real good excuse except that I’ve been a little overwhelmed with things at home. I won’t bore you with the details, but let’s just say I’ve been pretty stressed for awhile. The economy is hitting just about everyone where it hurts.
A few days ago, I felt like I hit rock bottom and wasn’t sure what to do. I’d spent another night, lying in bed and unable to sleep with worry over bills and money. I crawled back out of bed and went into the living room, not sure what to do. I wasn’t in any state of mind to get work done, so I was just going to try to find a way to entertain myself until exhaustion set in. That didn’t exactly happen, though.
What ended up happening was a marathon session of prayer and a renewing of my faith in God. That still, small voice encouraged me to look for some Divine inspiration on our situation and I found exactly what I needed. I heard what I needed to heard and am doing my best to listen and walk in a path of faith.
Since then, I’ve been watching the doors open in my life, left and right. Now my bank account isn’t much fatter at this particular moment, but it’s coming and I know it. Within just a few days, I have watched a new job opportunity begin to potentially explode and I’ve been given a sponsorship to Blogher ’09! I just know more great things are ahead and I can’t wait to see them!
I think the thing that gets me the most, though the financial opportunity is the overall most important, is the Blogher sponsorship. One of the last conversations I had with my mom before she passed away last July was about how much I wanted to go to Blogher. She could tell my excitement was genuine and told me she’d do whatever she could to help me get there. Just a couple days later, she went on to be with God. I think she enlisted some big name help and made good on her promise!
Anyway, things will be back to normal around here now, with more of my random thoughts and lots of fun stuff coming. I’ll keep you updated on my renewed walk of faith and hope that any of you that are in similar situations can find the faith and peace you need to make it through. It’s possible, trust me!
