Love Came Down

This week has truly been incredible. Today I found out I passed my Organizational Psychology class (got a B+ overall).  After an already incredible day I decided to race to my Zumba class right after work. I was thinking of leaving before the last song since it's just a cool down and I haven't eaten all day but I am so glad I didn't because I needed to hear this song. Burn Bright by Natalie Grant almost brought me to tears. Two years ago I truly lost who I was, I can't even begin to explain the pain and brokenness I felt. I decided to move home before completing school against the wishes of just about everyone, some people then and even still today may never truly understand why I made the decision I made. The why is I heard a voice in my head that said to go home and I truly believe it was my Heavenly Father. I know now if I wouldn't have listened to that voice, I would have truly lost everything if I hadn't. It has been a  very long and rough road but that voice and that decision forever has changed me, and this change has AMAZED me. My light is burning. I am shining and truly living!!!

This next song by Kari Jobe I believe truly explains why and how. I don't normally talk about religion or politics but I have to share that because of the love, grace and mercy of my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ is why I healed. Through the love and hope I feel I have and continue to mend every broken piece inside. But I am not only being put back together I am improved, stronger, wiser, filled with more love, hope and overwhelmingly positive thoughts than I have ever had before. Do I still struggle? Yes. I will forever be on this roller coaster of an adventure but I am ready for it! I am grateful for this second chance at life and I just had to share my never ending gratitude. Now I am getting a second chance at school, I can not wait to finish and get that degree that I put on hold a couple years ago.
