My Supports
This blog assignment is kind of touchy to me this week as we discuss what our daily supports are. If I seen to be a little religious I don't mean to offend anyone.
As I sit an think what it is in my life that gives my the motivation to continue what I do I have nothing but thoughts that jump in my head. Some are good and some are bad, but I use each thought to keep me going. When it comes to my daily support I would have to say first of all it comes from the man upstairs that I give thanks to every morning following reading his word to give me some powerful positive enlightment. My next support is my parents and family members the ones thats has moved on and the ones that are still here with me physically. Following my parents and family members I would say my closest sorority sisters, my geniune friends, and just mentors or people that I look up to.
When it comes to the man upstairs and his word I have witness that he has not failed me yet. I have been through ups and downs and I realize as long as I stay humble to him I will come out on top. There have been times in school, on my job, in relationships and with friends where I have ask God to reveal the truth to me and what is it he really wants me to do and not when I want the answer, but right when its time he gives me the answer I need.
My parents and close family gives me that motivation and drive to continue to want to become successful. They always let me know that nothing is easy and I will have to work for what I want and to not take things lightly because as soon as I become comfortable that is when I will loose it right from under my nose. My parents has always given me some type of encourging words rather I wanted to hear them or not because once I sat back and rekindle what they have told me it makes sense. I can recall a situation that I am going through I we speak besides my parents looking down at me they have been my backbone as well as my fiance`. They are continuing to tell me everything will be okay and just stay prayful even though there are times I become frustrated my fiance` is there to take all my anger away.
Out of 25 line sisters I can honestly say I am close to maybe 4 if that many. They have been there for me through thick and thin and have supported me from good times and my bad times when I wanted to give up. I can say my geniune friends and my mentor has been the same way. Oddly my I have two mentors which is one of my sorority sisters and my 1st cousin. As I just stated I am going through a situation where I am not going to bother anyone with , but even though it has only been a month God has really revealed alot to me and has showed me who is there for Rena no matter what.
I feel that my benefits with my daily supports is that it gives me something positive to look forward to and it gives me that positive energy that I seek to have everyday and without it I wouldn't know where I would be...

Reading your blog put a smile on my face and warmth in my heart. I think we all are truly blessed to have such a supportive family. A lot of people are surrounded with family but not everyone can say that their family is supportive. I'm glad that you have such wonderful people in your life!
ReplyDeleteRena,
ReplyDeleteLike you, I feel truly blessed to have the supports in my life that I have available. I work with many families that have little to no support system and my heart always goes out to them. Your post was very heart warming and a nice reminder that with the man upstairs all things are possible.
Rena,
ReplyDeleteI believe it is a privileged to have the support of one's family. I also have a great support of my family too.Your post is very deep and interesting.Supports are like pillars that we rest on when we are tired.
