My Life Part I
My life is full of surprises, I have been through many compromises. That is what
has made me a strong man, but not without Gods hand. He has blessed me
time and time again, I know he has forgiven my sins. I was struggling in poverty,
with a mother that loved me dearly. I would wear clothes 2 x's a week, and had
one pair of sneakers for my feet. I was neglected cause my brother needed more
so I understood and stayed strong to the core. I made friends easily, but we
moved around like a spring breeze. Never had my own stuff, just hand me downs
from other closets. My mom kept us eating anyway she could, even if it meant
walking many miles through the cold. My family stayed strong and together,
through the changes in our weather. My mother was a great dancer, and my
father reminds me of cancer. I have two brothers and one sister, and I am the
oldest did you figure. There is the younger brother, the straight shooter, he loves
his video games and cartoons. Then the middle a pretty boy thug, but there is a
side of him that still needs a hug. Then my sister, who is full of excitement, likes
to talk a lot, but still has God on her side. She is going to be someone important
in life, maybe a doctor, scientist or just a good wife. Now my step dad, who is full
of heart, without him maybe we would be broken apart. He continues to show me
how a man should be, regardless the pain or situation you see. Although I've
never seen him wear Tommy Hilfigure, to me he is still a great father figure. The
one I thank most is my mother, she dropped her dreams to have me, I know she
was a great dancer, but her children made her free. No one could take her place
because she is blessed with the Lords grace. My life doesn't end there, cause
its a lot more.here. Then I met the most beautiful woman, now we are married
and shes my cushion. I need her so much to continue on, the thought of her gone
makes me mourn. We have been through the trials of life, and God shows us
he is the most high.He blessed us with a baby boy, that just shows the Lords
grace even more. Living in two different bodies with one soul, no matter summer
spring, fall we will be together through heat or cold. I am thankful for everything
and everyone, but most of all for being blessed with a son. Thats my life in a
nutshell, cause no matter how many times I have fell, I will always remember
with the Lord on my side, I will get right back up and strive.
