More Than Just a Number

The number 3 has been really significant to me….

3 years ago I had Bell’s Palsy for the first time. Endless doctors appointments and therapy turned into a recommendation to file for disability because working was next to impossible. I applied, appealed, got denied and the cycle repeated itself. Depression kicked in and I was slowly giving up I gave up and prayed to God for the health and strength to get back to work.

3 months ago I started working from home. The first month was a struggle. I was in pain just about everyday and, even though it was a higher paying job than I was used to, it was also more challenging than anything I had ever experienced. I would clock out and cry most days but I prayed for the strength to push through. I worked hard and by the grace of God I was not only able to work hard, but receive kudos from my supervisors on a weekly basis.

3 weeks ago I randomly get a call from the apartment office I thought forgot about me when I applied to 3 years prior. She tells me that if I’m ready, I can move in. For the first time in my life I’m finally prepared to live on my own, after being told multiple times by doctors and therapists that I would never be able to function outside of my parents’ house.

3 days ago I paid my first month’s rent and security deposit and I just spent my first night in my new place last night!

1. God the Father

2. God the Son

3. God the Holy Spirit

I say all that to say nothing is impossible with God and trusting Him put me in a position where I feel safe, secure and that I’m where I’m supposed to be. For the very first time in my life, I feel like I’m finally able to make a life for myself and I’m so thankful
