There are times I may appear to be super cool on the outside. But inside I’m trying to balance out all the issues that are going in my life. This week my stress level is at all time high. I’m having a hard time dealing with untimely death of my daughter’s boyfriend (he was a great man & a great dad) and watching her go through grieving process is killing me. Because there is nothing her mom & I can do to make the pain she is feeling go away. Plus, I’ve been trying to get my new site up and running, while still trying to work 60+ hours a week. When it rain it’s pours. But, tonight I remember something my Grandma Snookie use to tell me. She always would say “Keith, whatever you are going through remember you are blessed” Remembering those words and listening to Jill Scott tonight helped me so much.
As a single mother, I know stress all too well. If I could add a few more hours a day to complete the endless list of duties, I would. However, at the end of the day, its about balance and grace. God’s grace will balance you just enough so you dont go over the edge and lose your your mind. God knows exactly where he wants you and in the misdst of the chaos, he is smiling. He is overjoyed that his greatest creation has realized just how blessed they truly are.
