I am amazed at the incredible journey I have been on. Today, as I sit here and reflect, I am overwhelmed with emotions. This story is one that I never expected to live, but it has taught me invaluable lessons about faith, resilience, and the power of divine timing.
September 2023 This month began with its fair share of challenges. September has always been a difficult time for me, as it marks the anniversary of the passing of my sister, grandmother, and other painful incidents from the past. Needless to say, I never look forward to September. So, I was still unemployed... And the pressure to provide for my children intensified as they started school. Transitioning from the lazy days of summer to the hustle and bustle of fall was not easy. But what I learned from God... I learned to let go of my pride. First, there was a back-to-school event at the school where I was able to get some supplies for my kindergartener. Then, a close friend reached out and took the kids to another back-to-school event, which kickstarted the school season on a positive note! Financial concerns weighed heavily on my mind, but God showed me once again... Though we may weep through the night, joy comes in the morning. Surprisingly, I received groceries multiple times this month, mostly for free! It was truly a blessing. Towards the end of the month, I finally got hired. While I still face the possibility of foreclosure, the mortgage company allowed me to try a modification once more. I have come to realize that God is in control, and I need to stop trying to micromanage everything. September taught me the importance of patience and resilience. Each day, as I saw my children come home, things started to look up. Do your kids also inspire you to keep going, even when you feel like giving up? Mine certainly do. With love, Aysha
