Inspirational stories of women who embraced life

I don't know about you but sometimes I need some inspiration. I love stories about real women and their inspirational stories, I got this one from www.sheknows.com



Overcoming challenges

Speaking of determination, that word aptly describes Cindy’s greatest strength. Seven years ago, Cindy was a housewife who was raising five-year-old twin boys. However, one fateful day, her life was turned upside down.

Ron, Cindy’s husband, was in a boating accident that sent him to death’s doorstep. Though he survived, Ron was left without use of his legs.

“That whole day seemed like it was in slow motion,” explains Cindy. “From the time Ron was on life support to the time they told us he was paralyzed from the chest down, it felt like an eternity. And then from there, breaking the bad news to Ron when he awoke was almost unbearable.”

After months of rehabilitation, Ron was able to return home. But with four mouths to feed and Ron unable to work, Cindy realized what she needed to do.

“I graduated high school but I didn’t like the idea of college,” says Cindy. “Though at that point, life gave me no choice.”

Cindy enrolled at a local community college and found out that she had a passion for numbers. Two years later, she transferred to a university and decided to major in accounting.

“Raising twins, helping Ron and going to school was challenging,” she says, “but comparatively speaking, I had it easy.”

Cindy now works as an accountant at a large corporation and is fully able to support her family.

“I’m proud of myself but I don’t think I did anything spectacular,” says Cindy. “I just played the cards life dealt me.”




We can all relate to this story, it's not about your loved one getting in a accident, it's about that "Event" in life that turns our world upside down, that life changing EVENT that changes the course we were on, everyone has a different event but we all go through those same feelings and thoughts, "this is not how my life was suppose to be" "how am I going to cope?" we must realize though that God knew our life before we ever came into existence, and even though this may be a shock to us, it's no shock to him, and he will guide us down the new path and we will somehow make it, even though in our minds it was not exactly how life was suppose to turn out, there will be days when you want to cry and days when you do. There will also be days of happiness and pure joy. We must learn to trust God and love the sometimes CRAZY life we were given.


Be Blessed!
