#2 Spreading my wings

So I have been on my own now for about 3 months and it has been difficult yet rewarding. Ive been given an opportunity to really look at my life and see honestly how I am doing esp spiritually. Thinking back to the past couple of years I have definitely slowed down spiritually.

Alot of different things in my family happened that definitely affected me. My mom being sick for 3 years and then dying a few months ago definitely turned my world upside down. I thought "Ok I can get through this, obviously with the help of Jehovah and the congregation" But sad to say the scripture in Eccl 7:7 proved true in my family after that great loss. "For mere oppression may make a wise one act crazy"

Then after years of desiring to be independent and move out on my own and many times thinking to myself maybe this year is a good time to move but then really then it wasnt...it finally clicked in my head and I felt at peace with my decision to move out of my dad's. I felt as if all the angels in heaven were clapping and Jehovah's smile of approval was on my decision. It was an easy decision yet very difficult.

Now after looking back at these past couple of months out on my own I truly appreciate my relationship with Jehovah more. He has proven to be a source of support and really takes good care of me. Especially through the congregation. Its amazing how much the friends want to take care of me. Its almost overwhelming at times. Im not complaining its really a great feeling to feel so loved! Especially after loosing my mom

who was a tremendous example of love and not having it around anymore pained me to the core! The scripture in Mark 10:30 has proven to be true in my case. That whatever we leave or lack esp for me family wise cause basically I am on my own in the truth, that I will gain mothers and fathers etc. And that is so evident in my case. I fall in love with Jehovah all over again everytime I am a recipient of the love shown to me by the brothers and sisters in the congregation.

so the conlcusion of the matter after everything being considered is that: I love Jehovah and he is really taking good care of me.
