“Accept what is, let go of what was, have faith in what will be.”

Sonia Ricotti

Today is a new day. It is the first day of the rest of my life. I have being praying very hard for the strength to let somethings in my life go. Yesterday I had a friend pop up unexpectedly and instantly I knew she was there for a reason. She wasn’t there to see me as such but she insisted we have coffee anyway which we did.

After talking to her I felt peace. She just listened and gave me the reassurances that I needed to hear and that was that. I walked away from that conversation knowing that that was the last time I would let those issues bother me. I felt free. Thank you my friend for just listening. You are literally a Godsend.

Last night I slept extremely early. I was mentally and emotionally exhausted. This morning I was up at the crack of dawn. In time to hear that beautiful dawn song that the birds sing. I just lay in my bed and listened with a sense of peace in my heart. Thank you God for answering my prayers. Thank you for giving me peace. I walk forward in faith. Today is a new day. 🙌

A month of gratitude:Day 14

🌼I am grateful for mentoring conversations. Yesterday morning I had a conversation with a friend who is also a leader in our organization. In it, she affirmed a strength that I had just started to realise I have. It’s a strength I really want to explore. We have had these conversations before and she has always given good advice but yesterday everything just clicked into place. I am so grateful that we had that conversation. On Monday morning I said it would be a “God’s done it again week” and He has not disappointed on so many levels. Thank you🙏🏼🌼

A month of gratitude: Day 12

🌼I am grateful for God’s protective hand. There are many times in my life when things have not “felt right” yet I have managed to come through it unscathed. In hindsight I often see the magnitude of the danger I or my son was in. Other times the I am completely unaware of the danger I am in until the situation has passed. I truly believe that God’s hand is constantly over my son and I and is shielding us or steering us to safety. I am grateful for God’s protective hand. 🌼
