I am filled with thankfulness.
My heart is overflowing with tears of joy.
I did not know that I can posses this much happiness.

Not long ago I believed that I would never see my beloved
slice of paradise once again.
That I would not see my beloved little brothers and sisters in Christ.

I prayed and cried out to my Heavenly Father to bring me back,
bring me back to where I saw His light shine brilliantly.

I had come to accept that I might never see my kids again,
or see the night sky sparkle like Jesus is smiling
and the stars are His dimples.

But like always,
If it’s His will be done,
It will be done.

I am blessed.
Beyond what I deserve I am blessed.

I got the call,
the call to once again go back
to the place where my heartbeat is etched into the beautifully,
dusty mountain tops.

My heart sings out louder than a opera singers G sharp.
My hands spring out to their very limits to praise my Father
who loves me.

My head lowers humbly,
recognizing that I do not deserve the pleasure that had befallen me.
Knowing I can only get my fullness in Jesus Christ who gives me
my pleasures in life.  

I am blessed.
Beyond what I deserve I am blessed.

I knew it was going to be a struggle,
I did not have the necessities to go.
But My Lord and Savior told me not to give up,
to trust He is in control.
Whether or not He sends me,
He is in control.

Truly,
I am blessed.

My all sufficient Father answered my prayers.
He sent me a one of a kind family.

A type of family that is overjoyed to hear my news of merriment.
A type of family that loves to support by trading cents and dollars,
for cookies and treats and cheesecake.
A type of family that celebrates my love for Christ
and my need to serve Him.
A type of family that grieves together,
cries together,
laughs together,
comforts together,
loves together,
and worships together.

A type of family that deserves my unending thanks of gratitude.

I get to go back to the place that has forever stolen a piece of my heart.

I am blessed.
Truly,
truly,
blessed.

Thank you my very loved faith family.
To my church who helped send me back to my heart.
