Trying to make it.....

Trying to make it.....
Posted By: Jeanetta Powell on September 27, 2005


Today has been a pretty hard day. I went to do laundry and i was okay....but for some reason I've been sick lately, and all I want to do is sleep. Naw, I 'm not knocked up, but it's more of a mental thing. Anyway, I went to go pick up my kids, and I was listening to a Gospel CD, looking at my gas gauge looming just above E.



I had 8 dollars in bills, and 4 dollars in quarters to put in my Explorer, so you know that needle didn't go far, lol.
Then it hit...this is what my life is right now. A constant struggle. A struggle to get up in the morning, a struggle to take care of my kids, a struggle just to get back in the bed at night. I am so glad I have found a church, because I truly think I know what it feels like to almost lose your mind.

And "God" is soo "God" ain't He, even when we don't see it.
"God" Bless Sis, all the greatness is within you to do.
I am proud of you and there is one that is far prouder and far above me:-)

Keep you head up, Darling. Look to the hills... God will keep your mind. May He bless you and your children. My favorite scripture is:

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be known unto God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
