I once thought that my life was just a deal of a very bad hand;
     And bad things happen to good people ; knocking down the ones who can stand.
     I once thought that my addiction was not in my control and just because my heart was pure...I could never damage my soul.
     I thought that I couldn't be loved, that my relationships suffered from me and that I was misunderstood by people to blind to see.
     I thought that I was a bad parent, a bad daughter and a terrible wife. I just knew that I was no good and being a drug addict had ruined my life!
     But then this Man of God who always appeared happy and kind, said something that made me think and eventually changed my mind.
       He said that our life is a Direct result of the path we choose to take and bad things don't happen to good people but it's the decisions in life that we make
      . He told me that God wants us happy and not one of us are without sin but we have the ability to chose if we let satan win
     and although we all fall short....God wants for us all to live free...free from the bondage of sin and into eternity
       but we must confess with our tongue that Jesus died so we could live and because his mercy is so great; our sins He will forgive.
So raise your children to know that every choice has consequences to face and good things happen to good people if you always do the right thing.

        This man impacted my life and truly enlightened me by this one little statement that gave me hope to be all God wants for me!

Through all my good and bad,
You love me still the same.   
You saw me at my worst,
Addicted, full of shame.

I remember you sleeping next to me,
Hugging me so tight
While I silently wept tears
That your sweet hands would wipe.

I never had to worry
If we would be okay,
Because I knew through your sweet prayers
God would pave a way.

We would laugh and talk for hours
About life and boys and friends.
While silent in my thoughts,
I wondered how my fate would end.

Then the day would come
That I would face my darkest sin
And deal with all those demons of addiction
That I had deep within.

But it was you my, precious daughter,
Who loved me all the same;
Through the good times and the bad,
In your heart is where I remain.

Thank you for your affection
And unconditional love.
God sent me an angel,
My daughter, from heaven above.

Do you know how much she loves you?
Do you know how much she cares?
Do you know she would do anything for you?
Hurt you? She wouldn't dare!

Do you know how much
You hurt her each time you raise your fist?
Do you know you broke her spirit,
But alone it's you she'll miss!

Do you know she cares for nothing
Except being by your side?
Whatever she has to take,
She is ready for the ride.

In silence her heart is torn
Because she knows that you won't change,
But hasn't she suffered enough?
Hasn't she endured enough pain?

I blame myself for showing her
That all men can be mean.
She grew up in a home
Where she always heard me scream.

But think about what I'm saying
And understand all that I say.
She loves you beyond understanding;
Please love her the same way.

You truly have an angel,
A gift from God above.
Don't take her heart for granted.
Show her kindness, show her love.
