My little brother's oldest daughter turned nine today. It does seem like only yesterday when I held her in my arms as a baby. The world has changed a lot since 2008. It was that year when the economy went "south" with the "Great Recession". It was that year when the company I was contracted out to work for was bought out.
Unfortunately I can't really recall any good thing that happened during those nine years. It's sad but true. So many people have been affected in a negative way with all the changes in technology. I really can't say that my life has improved either during these nine years...at least not financially.
I can say that I am a more open and aware person than I was nine years ago. I am definitely more actively involved in my community. I've seen things happen that give me hope for the future. I like the good changes I see in Aydia. She is growing up to be a beautiful young lady.
I do thank God for Aydia. She has brought light into my life and caused a glimmer of hope to pierce my soul. For her sake, I am praying that the Lord will protect and guide her through this veil of tears. Strengthen her for the coming days, Lord God and give her wisdom to combat those who would tear her away from you. Bless her family, Lord God and her little sister, Aubrey. Keep her in your sight, Lord God.
