Today I am grateful for ..Part 7
I am grateful for my "normie" friends, and the fact that I can connect them with my "RA" friends.
I'm taking statistics in school....got totally lost, stuck, you name it. Lo and behold, one of my RA friends from here DOES this stuff for a living. Hearing from her was like the missing puzzle piece that I was missing.
I'd talked to one of my classmates..she knows my history, no biggie (other than tremendous support) and I copy/pasted what my RA friend explained to me.
My classmate told me I was the answer to her prayer...that when she started this semester, she was lost, she told God "I don't know anyone, I'm lost and I'm confused, please send me some help" and *I* was the answer to her prayer?!?!?
I do help her out, she helps me out. Sometimes, it just feels good to know we're not the ONLY ones who are lost. Who'da thunk that I would meet "normie" friends who accept me, encourage me. Who'da thunk that my recovery friends could help me and my "normie" friends because what she does for a living is what we're trying to learn.
I went by my meadow today...the entrance has some beautiful flowers, the meadow has some adorable baby goats. I smiled, said "thank you God for my baby goats" and I felt like a weight was lifted of my shoulders.
I'm not perfect, I'm not making 100's in every assignment in school, but I'm holding my own..I've learned to reach out when I'm struggling (school or otherwise), and for that? I am very, very grateful.
Hugs and prayers,
Amy

Today I am grateful for who I am and that I will never quit being everything God intended for me to be. Thank you God for loving me and changing me and my love for you and living right will never waiver.
