My way of looking at life now that I am of a certain age and have seen and lived many things has changed. My way of being before was very rigid, maybe because I ran a lot. For me, having responsibilities was something to take very seriously, nothing lightly. My word always counted and it was like signing a document.

I don't mean to say that I never broke my word. Of course I did, and many times. But just as when I signed a document and failed to meet the deadline, I would go to the person directly involved with my failure to comply.

I told this person why I could not comply and how I would resolve it. The same thing happened to me when I could not keep my word to a person. I sought her out and asked for an apology and a new date to keep my word, and I believe I always maintained a reputation that helped me become what I am today.

But this is not what I came here to tell. I want to say that I am a very fortunate woman whom God has blessed with his holy presence in every moment of my life.

My son was about to enroll. I thought I would have a hard time getting the money to pay his tuition for this semester but it turns out that everything worked out well.

My practice is attracting more patients. Little by little people are starting to trust this new medical practice and they are agents that multiply the word of my office thanks to the care they receive, they are much better advertisers than anything.

Thanks to this I was able to get the money for my son to enroll today and now that I’ve paid the first part of the the semester now I have to pay the remaining parts in two months, one third of what I paid today and then another third and the end of this semester which ends in December.

In addition to this, my air conditioner was broken and I didn't want to fix it until I could have my son's money, but last week when I had the total to pay I asked them to check my air conditioner, and you know what? It only cost me $5 to fix it!

Then, in view of the cheapness of this, I asked them to check the refrigerator that has been damaged for 2 months. The fridge cost me 40$, and now it's the turn of my washing machine that was damaged 2 weeks ago… And I still have $60 left to fix it.

So everything has been getting fixed with little money and the $100 I saved to fix two appliances has helped me to fix the 3 appliances I had damaged. It’s a wonderful thing. I don't have anyone else to help me financially with my expenses, so needless to say this is just great!

How can I not feel that God is in charge, putting his hand to make all my efforts bear fruit?

Of course there are other things pending, but these 3 were all the most important and are already covered. It will now be a more restful continuation with what is missing and with the always positive thought that everything can be done, because I can do everything in Christ who strengthens me.

Today I am especially happy. I cannot find words to praise God in all his work, for as long as he is with me all burdens become very light.

Everything, everything in life we can accomplish. If we do it the right way the doors open at our feet to make way for good fortune. It’s what many people call luck. No, it’s not luck to strive to achieve your goals and at the end of the road see that everything comes true in a way that flows like the waters of the spring. Clear, transparent, swift and swift.

When your efforts are rewarded, that cannot be called luck. That is called success. Luck is not the same as success, because success is only achieved after your struggles become a reality, when they are flowing in the best way. The others see it happening in the way a feather carried by the breeze that in their minds comes to them the thought that this can be called luck.

Only you, the one who understands what I mean, the one who has already gone through this situation of going through the most difficult struggle and at the right moment the doors of success open, only you and I see this as success.

Fight to reach your goals, sooner or later they will catch up with you to see them fulfilled.

Maybe you see all this as something simple but in my country everything has changed. People are leaving for other continents in search of a better life, but in those places things are very difficult as well. I have wanted to continue fighting here at home but with my son who is my responsibility, and I am about to finish my goal, to see him graduate in computer engineering. It will be soon.

I have gone through many difficulties and little by little they have all been dealt with, because no matter how bad things may seem as long as you have your positive thoughts the burdens will be lighter.

My best wishes to you, because you can get what you most desire in your heart when you are fighting to get it.
