| I'm just a little girl from Tennessee | |||||
Keeping the Faith and HopeI was going through a particularly bad time with the "F" word (my name for my ex-husband) and felt I had lost touch with my Higher Power. My pain was so deep and I couldn't understand how my Higher Power would let me go through such emotionally abusive events by myself. It took me years to realize through my spiritual growth that I hadn't been abandoned. Through teachings I came to understand and be in awe of the faith my Higher Power has in me. He had created an ordinary journey and chose me, this little girl from Tennessee to walk the path...pot holes and all. When I finally reached this level of awareness I knew how blessed I was and truly saw that I had never been alone. During this time of anguish and dispare, a friend apparently saw my pain and gave me a randon gift of kindness that still means so much to me. The gift was a small stone with a single word carved in it....HOPE. In that single moment I knew as long as I had HOPE I could find a way out of my situation. That beautiful little green stone has a permanent home on the top of my bedside night stand. It's the last thing I see at night as I crawl into bed with "The Kids" and the first thing I see when I get up in the morning. If you're going through a particularly rough patch and don't have a HOPE stone, I have a suggestion for you. Write it on a piece of paper. Use an ink pen, a pencil or a crayon it doesn't matter. Take that piece of paper and fold it up and put it in your wallet or someplace you won't lose it. In your heart you will always know you have HOPE and that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
