"There can be miracles, when you believe. Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill. Who knows what miracles you can achieve- when you believe, somehow you will, you will when you believe."- Mariah Carey
Can I just say how grateful I am for the people in my life? There is an amazing thing about Gods plan- the way he knows exactly what you need. . and lots of times who you need. - I can't be on my knees long enough or give enough to thank God and the people in my life for helping me move forward from a lowely, dark place into a clear abyss.
4 years ago, I was so lost in darkness. I was confused about who I was, what I was doing and who actually cared. And when I hit what i thought would be the end of my life- I was in such a deep, dark, despairing pit. With no real concern about my family or friends- people who I thought really didn't care about me. Turns out-part of being human, is understanding that you can be wrong and being okay with that.
Today-tomorrow. I just really want to say Thank you to everyone who has helped me reach such a good place. From the people who stepped in and kept me from making an eternity altering decision, My family who dealt with so much grief and pain but never left, all the moms, dads, brothers and sisters I have been blessed to gain, the roommates who have had patience, the families who i've had the opportunity to live with and learn from, the Bishops, Counselors, little Tender Mercies from My Savior and my Father in Heaven.
I am so far from where I want to be. But looking back where I was 4 years ago. Such a short time ago- i have found a simple truth- The worst mistake you can possibly make is Giving up.
I thank my Heavenly Father and my Savior for delivering me from such a dark place. And sending me angels to protect me and guide me. My amazing parents, my beautiful sisters- All 4 of them, My baby Brother, my Extended Family, my Best Friends over the years, my roommates and ward members and again- so so many more.
Every little piece of something somebody did has helped me to grow and reach the point where I could reflect back on a time that was so dark and despairing and turn it into something amazing and so uplifting.
I am so blessed to be alive and thriving in the things I enjoy, to be here and seeing the people I love.
And I just wanted to say Thanks. Thanks to everyone who has helped me see something bigger than myself and be able to love, grow and be happy with who I am and where I'm at.
That is truly miraculous.
Alyssa
