This morning, I rolled out of bed before my alarm went off!
WHAT??!? I know right? Not something that I can say typically happens on a
weekday!!
Today, felt different…. This whole week actually… a constant and I don’t want it to end!
My son had his last football game this weekend. I enjoy football
and even more when my son’s playing. He played offense part of the game and I
proudly cheered him on with his total of 70 yards throughout the game! The best
part of this Saturday afternoon were the people by my side. My BF aka my soul sister
and her wonderful children cheering on Lockwood as they shared sunflower seeds and
candy with my beautiful daughter. My brother and his adorable son…. I always
love catching up with him and kissing on my nephew! My dad, who proudly gave me
thumbs up with each play Jonny had possession of the ball…. Annnd a tall
handsome gentleman, who I proudly call my boyfriend, standing hand in hand with
me regardless of the blistering heat!! An amazing man who didn’t even flinch to
spend his birthday hanging out with my family and me cheering the afternoon
away!
It was in that moment that I once again was reminded of the power of prayer. The power of faith…
I spend so much of my time worrying and stressing over
things out of my control. Crazy, as I look at the past few years of my life,
everything has worked out for the better! Every one of my life changing moments
pushed me to my knees and in return he showed me patience and a better path
through my prayer! His path… not mine!
I am now at a point in my life where I am no longer hiding
behind my bedroom door. I am less afraid and anxious about leaving my home. I
have a relationship with my baby girl that I thought would never be possible. I
thoroughly enjoy our daily talks and laughs. I am watching my son grow into a
young adult and am learning all the right lingo to say… totally Rad! Haha! I
still have my struggles in learning to let my oldest baby girl live on her own but
I am certain with time and continued prayer our connection will be stronger
than ever before!
As of today, there are no more stereotypical names for me…
No more perfectly imperfect, overly emotional, hot mess,
broken me! Just a smiling me who is thankful for the power of prayer and all that is happening in my life.
To open my eyes each morning, happy, healthy and enjoying
all the simple things most take for granted.
I am Crystal Rae and my advice for you today… right, wrong,
up, down, inside or out...
PRAY
