Today I would like to thank God for all the struggles I have been through. I remember one time when it was so bad, salaries were not coming consistently at the company I was working, apa I am pregnant with my daughter. I would cry everyday and ask my husband why me? Why us

I would cry at work and wonder why this was happening to me. Those that know me will tell you that I am a selfless person and I always help those around me. So I really didn't get why I was suffering. Ah this life
One day it got so bad that I was cooking sadza and I ran out of mealie meal before it was ready. I just switched off the stove and prayed that it would harden. It's not that we forgot to buy the mealie meal, we did not have the money, and we did not want people to know.
If it wasn't for family, we never would have made it. My sister told me one thing that I will share with you today, "Asking for help doesn't mean you are weak". I think many of us are like me, we fear showing vulnerability.
It was months before I got a new job. But you know what, our rentals were paid and we had groceries in excess. Vulnerability is scary but sometimes you just need to lay down your pride and be honest with yourself that you need help. Not everyone is out there waiting to hurt you
I am grateful for my family and friends. Grateful to tell you that it really is true that when you give it will be given back to you pressed down shaken together and running over.
I am grateful for the bad times. They taught me a lot. Be someone's miracle you never know when you might need one too.
