"You know what Michelle? I love you"

For the past three weeks of my life I have felt like all hell has broken loose. I've tried to be strong. I've tried to hold fast, but I have been broken. I've tried to cling to the things in my life that bring me the most joy, and they have eased the pain, but it's still been SO tough. When the waves are crashing, the ship just won't stay steady on the water.


The past 3 days have been so much more enjoyable. I have begun to look at all of the positive and all of the things that I have and really surround myself and bask in my blessings.

After nap time today, one very special little boy looked at me and said "You know what Michelle? I love you"(No Ms. in front. Very personal.)

Those very moments take my breath away and breathe life into my soul at the same time. It's almost as if the very voice of God is whispering "You know what Michelle? I love you. And I don't care that you don't understand. And it's not important for you to see why right now. I need you to trust me. I need you to trust my plan for you. I need you to let go."

I am so very blessed to be who I am and where I am. I have SO much. Not of monetary value, but of love. From the time that I was born until this moment, my parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends have showered me and wrapped me in love. And that love continues to push me onward.
