Have you ever thought about the choices you make and why?

I wanted a better life or a quieter life.  But there is no fool like an old fool.  I got scammed out of my money and am trying to figure out just how to recover.  I know that I can it just takes time and strength of mind and purpose.  I will keep trying and I know there are people in the world who will help me get back on track.  I am not afraid to ask for help.  Blessings to you all.  

Hey there ya'll!! This pic of my son and I was taken a few months back.I am like a lot of woman raising my son alone.Until very recently I was able to take care of us.Sometimes barely but I work very hard.I am a  {ALMOST}45yr.living woman in fairly good shape.My son gave me a whole new and way better life.

I have had pretty severe dental issues,again I am not alone,I applied and got approved for medical assistance for myself and my son.Very cool!! I needed oral surgery and my condition became immediate and they removed all of my top teeth.THEY DIDN'T EVEN KNOCK ME OUT!!!!!!!Don't misunderstand I AM SO FORTUNATE ON THE TIMING IT'S SCARY!!! The day before the situation escalated is when I received approval. However I have been waiting for my dentures and been unable to work.My surgery took place on April 8th.SCARY..Ihave really enjoyed the time I've been able to spend with my son ,more then any words can say.And I do believe that GOD-THE GREAT SPIRIT-has the grand plan.I also have recently gotten food stamps.Another piece to this puzzle that is incredible-a miracle really-I still have my job.As I said this came on abrubtly-my boss is a wonderful woman.

So in many ways I am surrounded with blessings why be bummed!?! I'm human and a mom and those fears creep in as to whether or not I'm going to provide for my son.

I then remind myself that I am doing all that I can ,following the chosen path FAITH OVER FEAR-you can not have them both at the same time...CHOOSE.

Some days are better than others-and I am not alone when I say each day I face new fears and challenges.I constantly have to remind myself that I can't have faith and fear at the same time --choose--Today is pretty good

There has to be more to life than one's goals, accomlishmnet, dreams and problems. it is a known fact that anytime life is difficult and circumstances seem insurmountable,the best way to escape is to help someone else whose situation may be worse than yours. This blog is dedicated to testimonies of how selflessness can lead to happiness and sometimes can surprisingly bring the breakthrougn in our situations that we are seeking. At the very least we can defocus on our own problems and they automatically seem to decrease and don't seem quite as scary. Are you ready to serve???? Let's go!!!!!

I am a single mother of four kids. One who is disabled and have needs that i can not afford to give him. But i am blessed to do all that i can. About a year ago my house was burned to the ground and ihave been struggling every since being force to welfare and from home to home. I cannot get back on my feet to where i was because i became disabled with a disease that enables me from work. Work was all i knew at that point to keep me going if i knew i had a check coming in biweekly i would not be here today asking for help. I am fighting my disablility to become self dependent again. Living on a fixed income it is hard to furnish needs for my children.I have excepted that i may never work again although i just graduated from college in hope that i can fight my disorder. I am not one of those that makes bad choices and become dependent on the system.I was raised to be dependent and work for everything, but now i am tired and realize that i con,t do this alone.Pleas i need your help.

Sincerely, Carolyn Lewis
