I am supported in a variety of ways in my personal life. First and foremost, I am supported by God. My faith gives me a great deal of strength and comfort.
My family is very supportive. They are verbally encouraging. My child and neice support me by doing housework and running errands when I am tired. They buy me presents and take me places We have fun on trips. We read books and discuss them. They give me foot rubs and back rubs. They call me daily or send me little text messages. My cousin plan meals and bake. They often grocery shop. My friend takes care of our home and yard work. He can and does fix anything and everything that breaks or doesn't work. He gives me advice when I need to take the van to the shop or can't make a decision. He works three full-time jobs and supports me financially. My cousin and I would not be where we are without his generosity and kindness.
My family also supports me emotionally and spiritually, They attend services with me and engage in meaningful conversations about life, faith and life after death. They encourage me when I am down and compliment me when I do good things. My cousins depend upon me for help, and that makes me feel needed and wanted - like I have real purpose and meaning in my life. They tell me I am smart and are proud of me. My friend constantly tells me how beautiful I am. My friend and child have never raised their voice to me. They don't fight with me, but rather ask me to sit down and have discussions with them when things aren't going so well.
I have a large network of friends that I can call on at a moment's notice. They are always there for me, again, emotionally, socially and even financially. My aunt battled cancer for 8 years, and our church, friends and family all raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to ease our financial burden.
My colleagues at work support me in teaching. We plan cooperatively, and are a team. We give each other verbal encouragement and help each other by taking on duties when someone is absent. I can go to any one of my co-workers and ask for something, and they will deliver. My administrators, secretaries and support staff are all a great help and encouragement. I could not do my job effectively without their support.
My doctor supports me in my physical health. She is there when I need her. She can make a diagnosis, write a prescription or refer me to a specialist. It is a real comfort knowing that an expert can help me stay in good health.
God, through the Bible, gives me emotional encouragement and support. He gives me lessons for living the best life and practical ways to deal with hurt, anger or frustration. I often turn to scripture when I need to uplifted or make a decision.
Walden University is currently supporting my efforts to want to further my career. I am engaged in a course and pursuing my master's in Early Childhood Education: Teaching Adults in the Early Childhood Field. I have many resources at my disposal to research, learn and grow as an educator. I also have a great deal of professional development opportunities which support me in my career, as well.
If I did not have my friend, I can't imagine what life would be like. Yesterday, I attended the funeral of a friend's husband. She woke up last Sunday and he was dead. She is just 5 years older than me. Wayne is my mainstay. I don't function well when I don't have him around. He used to travel with work, and actually worked in another state once for almost a year. I felt very alone. Wayne is my rock. He can take care of anything and everything that I cannot. He makes me feel loved more than any other person alive. He trusts me and depends upon me. He is a faithful, loyal, godly friend. He is a fantastic father to his two daughters. He is so great, in fact, that at 17 and 18, they are not yet interested in young men or dating. They compare every man they meet to their father and no one has measured up yet. Without Wayne I would love 3/4 of my income. I would lose the emotional support of love and, quite frankly, great love! I would lose the support of taking care of and fixing things and have to pay for all those things. I would lose my best friend and the world would lose a great man!

Wow, sounds like you have an amazing support system! My wish would be that EVERY child would come to school with that level of emotional, physical and practical support.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how reading a scripture from the Bible can ease one's burdons. It's great that you have such a large support group, because there are a lot of people who never get the opportunity to experience such essential relationships, including some of the children in our programs.
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing! Your committment is tremendous! What an enormous amount of emotional and spiritual support you have from friends, relatives and God. I also rely on my spiritual support to make it through each day. Not everyone has that support system to rely on.
ReplyDeleteWow! The support system you have is awesome. I depend on my family also for support but your story is amazing. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone could have the love and support that you have and are experiencing? Again, wow!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the rest of the post,having a great support team is what kepts a person strong through life.
ReplyDeleteYou are very blessed to have such a supportive network of family and friends. It sounds like you know how blessed you are and you appreciate everyone very much.
