Day 478

Good afternoon! My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  Growing comes from changing and changing comes through progress.  I have had many life changing events in my life: marriage, births, sobriety. Strength and growth have been challenging and a continuous part of my journey and struggle has been there part of the way as well.  The path of life is not always a clear path, sometimes there are weeds and vines in the way. Sometimes there is a fork in the road.  Sometimes there is a mountain to climb, sometimes a valley, but God is always there by my side, to help me.  To pick me pick if I need it.  We have all see the poem "Footprints in the Sand" by Mary Stevenson.   I love the line..."When you saw only one set of footprints.  It was then that I carried you."  And sometimes we don't even realize it.  He just picks us up.  We all have our own struggles, but God also gives us the effort to get through a lot too.  I have made it through a lot more than I ever thought I could or should have.  So Thank you Lord.  That's all I have for today.  Have a great one!
