2010, the year of the unexpected!


For many 2010, was a great year. While for others it was a year full of disappointments, hurt, fear and lack. But thanks be to God, for all of those who made it to see 2011, there is still hope. I've learned, you must have hope.




2010 taught me so many lessons and also showed me how strong the Lord within me is. Because without him, I think I would have given up the race and hung my lace less shoes on a hook.




2010 started off rocky, became unbelievably hard and ended with the biggest surprise our family could have imagined.




It's so easy to watch different television programs and see the different challenges of other families, but when it's our own family who is faced with such challenges, it puts everything into a different perspective.




The lack of finances really played a dominate role in our lives this year. Maybe if I went back to work things would have been different, but I really needed to get over or get pass the difficulty of working with small children in childcare. That was very unbelievably difficult for me; traumatic almost.




But not having for so long has taught me a valuable lesson, one must work in order to make it. And with the increase, God can bless us with more.




I miss having our own home, a savings account, being able to take my children to see the different kids plays, buying them what the need when they need it, having health insurance, being approved for a new car and so many other things.




But that is all going to change in 2011. This year I plan on going back to work. Maybe not full-time at first, but at least two or three days.




In 2011, I'm full of excitement as to what great things I'm going to accomplish. I excited to see how my family blossoms and my husband and I celebrate 6 years of marriage. WOW! And I look forward to watching the boys grow taller, as Darius starts kindergarten and Darren finally becomes a big brother.
