I AM BLESSED

"I may never climb a mountain,So I could see the word from there.I may never ride the waves,And taste the salty ocean air.Or build a bridge,That would last a hundred years.But no matter where the road leads,One thing is always clear....

I am blessed,I am blessed,From when I rise up in the morning,'Till I lay my head to rest,And I feel you near me,You sooth me when I'm weary.Oh, Lord,For all the worst and all the best,I am blessed.

All along the road less traveled,I have crawled and I have run.I have wandered through the winds and rains,Until I found the sun.But watching eyes,Asked me why, I walk this narrow way,There may never be a reason,For the hope I have today....

You've given me joy,You've given me love,You give me stength,When I want to give up.You came from heaven,To rescue my soul.You are the reason,I know,I know."

I absolutely love this song,as I sat and watched my girls play today,this song crossed my mind.I am a very emotional person,lol and being preggers doesn't help any.I have been thinkin about alot of things lately,my marriage,my girls,my precious unborn baby,I have so very much to be thankful for!For about the past 3 months I have been having some problems with depression,and it has been terribly painful for me.It seems that the devil has thrown every negative thought my way that he possibly could have.All I have wanted to do is just cry,I can truly say it is the lowest I have ever been in my life.All I could do is focus on the negative,and the way that I felt was affecting my family,my marriage,every aspect of my life.About 3-4 weeks ago,I stumbled across Bentley's blog,don't even remember how I got there.If you aren't a follower of sweet Bentley's blog then you def. should be.She is an amazing little girl who has just had open heart surgery,I have absolutely become hooked on her blog,lol.I thought I had stumbled across it,by accident,but now I know that there was a reason a purpose!In one night I read her blog from beginning to end.Through tears and laughter,Bentley's story truly touched me and changed my life.As I read of her amazing strength and her mother's beautiful faith in the Lord it made me realize,I should be so very thankful for what I have.I was lookin at all these terribly negative things,or should I say trying to turn every thing into a negative,and here was a mother with so much to face and go through,yet she was so strong!I just want to thank The Lord for Bentley and for her mother Crystal for choosing to share her story with us,it has touched my lif in more ways than you will ever know!
