I have been blessed. Love this song. I have been blessed with an imperfect family, but it's mine. I have been blessed with good friends over the course of my life. I have been blessed with good therapists. I have been given many blessings, and many struggles, but even in the struggles there are blessings.
I've grown up in a family that is dysfunctional, and there is emotional, verbal abuse, there has been times when I thought to just run away. But when I had nowhere else to go, it was the same family that took me in. Then there was the family secret, that shook me to the core, and I really wasn't feeling loved or blessed, but it has shaped me into who I am today. I have been given a diagnosis, a label, but in knowledge is power, and I am blessed to be able to figure out how to deal with this new information to overcome it. In all my struggles there are blessings, even though they did not feel like blessings at the time. God uses everything, even the very worst things for the good. I'm still alive, another blessing, after my struggles with suicidal thoughts.
I may be single and living with my family, but it's a blessing in a way because I need to focus on me, and getting healthier, before trying to focus on being in relationship with another. Just some of the many blessings.
