Blessed and Grateful

I sit here feeling blessed and grateful for this past year.  What I thought was the end of my world was just the beginning of something more beautiful.  The obstacles that were put in my way, I came through them with wounds and battle scars, but I also came out a stronger person for it.  

My marriage is over with.  I have filed for divorce last week.  

My job that I had for 14 years, I was let go a month and a half ago.  Got my last severance check on the 15th of this month.  I've been working my ass off at the bar full time and lots of over time for the last month and a half and for peanuts. I started sending my resume out like crazy the last couple of weeks.  Looking to stay in the legal field which is my passion, but, I decided to take a leap and I sent my resume to a company that I had no clue about.  Got a call back the next morning, went on an interview Thursday morning, got a call back Thursday evening for another interview, which was this morning and I got the job.  I have to take a state licensing test before I start working, but I have been hired.  Start the online classes tomorrow. Once I get my license...I start working and being mentored.  Something totally out of my comfort zone, sales.  I am really looking forward to this change.  Not to mention, the income...there isn't a limit and it's all up to me.  I'm a hustler!

I have amazing friends and family who have been on the sidelines rooting for me.  I also have an amazing person in my life who has been a Godsend.  To be able to bounce ideas and tell this person everything without the fear of being judged or told something is nice.  No jealousy or insecurity and is comfortable with me learning about me and helping me (mentally) every step of the way is amazing.  For the first time in a long time, I have not been this happy.  Especially this past year.  God is closing a lot of doors that I couldn't do myself and is opening new ones because I have put it ALL in his hands.  I am taking leaps in life that I would have never dared to have done.  I'm flying, not falling.  I am truly blessed.  I know that I am and I am grateful for this life that I am living because through Him, all good things come and I give Him all my thanks and praise.
