Family

Family. That word has weighed on my mind for days now. I found myself one night last week praying for God to help me with this word. So I don't really know where this blog is headed tonight.

My family means the world to me. If it wasn't for my family then I would not have made it through somethings as good as I did. If you ever want to know what unconditional love is turn around and look at your family. My family has loved me at my best and at my worst. That unconditional love held on to me when I didn't want to be held on too. That unconditional love looked me in the eyes and said "You are gonna be okay! WE are not going anywhere."

At some point in each of our lives we have taken our family for granted. As teenagers, we think that we know more than they do and that our family is out to just ground us for everything under the sun. We rebelled, we argued, and we ran from that unconditional love. We let someone else tell us that family wasn't important. That all we needed was our friends and so called friends. But when the truth came out and we thought we would be standing alone who was standing with us? Family.

God gave us a certain family because He knew that is who we needed to be with. He knew that that family would love and support us no matter what. Help us in time of need and cheer us on in our biggest race.

I use to think God blessed me with extremely strict parents. But you know hind sight is 20/20. I am thankful for those extremely strict parents. I thought I was a good child but when I look back, good Lord knows I was a handful.

I have my own little family now, that I am working putting the pieces back together. I have realized through this that family can beat all odds when they stick together.

Family. I will have another blog on this soon I hope. I feel like there is a little more to say.
