...you have come a long way. Its only been a few short months since you seemingly hit naked rock. God is truly a good God, and you have been tremendously blessed. As you sit at your desk in your new office listening to soothing music and reflecting back on the past summer, seems like a distant memory. Yet,it wasn't all that long ago that your troubles seemed insermountable. Before, you were wondering how you were going to pay your bills, and now your out looking for furniture and new clothes. Times have definately changed. Since things have changed for the better, reflect and thank God for the things He has done.
Don't forget where you were a few short weeks ago. Thank and appreciate those people that were with you when times were hard. Pray for those who let you down in your time of need, and most of all, don't be bitter towards them. Everything happens for a reason. The people that seemingly made an about face out of your life when things got tough didn't need to be in your life to begin with, and it took a life altering experience to weed out the bad people from the ones that meant well. Just because people say that they will be there for you doesn't mean that they really will be when you actually turn to them in a time of need.
Knowing the things that you do now and looking back on the past few months should make one thing crystal clear. Having a positive attitude toward life and situations will help you make it though very hard times. Giving up is never an option and if you hold out and remain vigilant, you can be victorious in the end. Remain positive, because sometimes hope is all that you have left...
