How often does it happen...being this blessed? How often does a family continually live in the blessing of God? I couldn't tell you, because all around I see destruction, death, and I only wish for deliverance and a Savior. But here I am, in my tiny 5 person unit that has prospered for years and I look back and wonder...how? How did I get so lucky to be in this family? But of course it isn't luck at all. It's a blessing that only God can provide. Many would see the sickness that penetrated my family for 10 years as the opposite of a blessing, but I see the miracle of healing and all the lessons learned from that rough patch and it is truly a blessing. I see how a family was strengthened and blessed with the gift of healing. God healed my brothers. God doesn't give up on us, even when we are feeble and hardly able to keep down a meal. God brings blessing on the least of us. I am a product of that blessing. It's so amazing because I am SOOO undeserving. I mean really, just look at me. I'm full of sin, but God still chooses to bless my family. We prosper because of God, and when we don't prosper we still give God the glory because our lives aren't defined by the hard times. They are defined by how God saves us during those hard times. My Savior was there when I needed him, and I am truly blessed because of that. I hope I don't sound like I'm bragging. It's just that I am sooo happy right now. I can just see God's hand all over my family and my life! I know he's watching me every step of the way and he won't fail me, EVER! I just feel so empowered right now knowing that God's love is completely unfailing even during the times I don't feel like loving him at all. Even when I blame him for my own failures. I can only breathe and live for God, there's nothing else to do really. My existence is for His glory, and I know he will never let me down.
