When I think of my
support; I cannot begin to think of just one person or factor. My life has many
avenues of support, and I am very grateful for this. My parents were my biggest
support systems. My mother passed in
2001, and my father passed in March of 2012. These two were my backbone!!!

My
husband, who is also my best friend, took on a huge role of support not only
after our marriage in 2010, but after my father’s recent passing. For a while,
I did not realize how much support I had. But after evaluating my life, I have
determined and recognized that I receive support from my husband, my sisters,
brothers, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, my church family, my
colleagues at work even provide me with support, as well as the children and
families that we provide services to, as well.
I honestly believe my largest support comes from above. I know without
doubt, that there were many times, that I would not have even made it with the
love and support of my Heavenly Father, God.
I would not have stepped out on faith to even continue my education,
without the reassurance from Him.
It says in His word, “I will lead the blind
by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will
turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth.
These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them,” (Isaiah 42:16), and,
"Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5).
Having this support reassures my worth, my happiness, and my purpose.
Selia,
ReplyDeleteI love your post. I too lost my mother about 8 years ago and I miss her everyday. You appear to have a great support system surrounding you which is important. I love the Bible verses that you chose as your affirmation to life. There is definitely no support or reassurance in life like that from the one above.
