Inspiration

Today I feel better. Physically, No, but spiritually YES. Someone on here was helpful enough to provide me with a phone number. The number i called was unable to help me, they were out of funds and had already enlisted all the angel tree children for the year. However, after i told her my story and was completely honest, She became very empathetic. We ran down a list of options and numbers, and each number and option could not help. I thanked her anyways, and her response was"Hold on one second, I am just a lowly clerk with limited means myself, but she said she felt god had led me to her, and she said she wanted to visit with me tonight if that were o.k with me". I said, Yes, and gave her directions. She said when she gets off of work, she will coming by with a couple of her church lady friends, and they wanted to bring my daughter diapers and food. WOW. She asked me what MY daughter liked to eat, and i said anything, and she said, "NO, what is her favorite"! Hesitantly, i said, Fruits and vegetables, but i know how expensive they are, so please don't bother with anything pricey. " Beans and rice or anything cheap and economical would suffice, and she protested, "No, i want her to eat what makes her happy!" I cried, she cried. She went on to ask her shoe size and clothing size, and preference in toys. I said anything would do, she doesn't need amenities, but that diapers would be a blessing. i went on to say she has diapers right now, and to save her money. "But you will need them later she said". Then she asked me what was wrong with our vehicle, i told her what i knew of why it was broke down, and she asked if it would be o.k with me if she brought a fellow church member/ mechanic by later in the week to take a look at it. I was in shock! She said everything will not happen overnight, but that someones prayers for me had led her to help me, and that i deserved everything and more. Wow!  

My body still aches, as i am very sick right now, and can't rest as this toddler is keeping me on my toes, but my heart and mind is at ease now. I may Think that I arranged this all alone and all by myself, but the truth is, God, and someones prayers has made what i felt was the unattainable, possible, So Thanks to all who have kept me in mind and prayers

Isn't Christmas a Magical time of year!! Yes Pensacolafl23 there is a Santa Clause. How wonderful for you. I have always believed in Karma and the minut my husband and I start making the "right" choices its like magic that everything starts falling into place. Things stop breaking, extra jobs come along, people reach out!! Keep the faith and good luck in your recovery!! I am not an overly religiouse person but I do believe in guardian angels for sure.

What a beautiful occurrence!  I'm so glad that there are wonderful people in the world like that.  You are doing an amazing thing by choosing to overcome your addiction.  It was hard enough for me, and I had more support and less adversity than you did.  Give yourself a huge hug for that!  You are doing an awesome job, and will succeed by keeping it up :)
