My Supports

When I think about my daily supports in my life, the first would have to be my faith in God. God is the guide of my life and knowing that I can trust and believe in His word helps me to manage in life daily. I start off my morning with the support of God’s word by reading a Bible verse and committing to a daily devotional. This helps me face life in a positive, loving way and be ready to achieve any tasks that may come my way. Without this support, I would be lost, confusion, discouraged in any goal I was trying to reach and would be hopeless in this world we live in.

Another support would be the emotional, physical, and sometimes monetary support from family members. They help me by communicating with me during ups and downs that I encounter in my life. They have provided me at some time in my life a place to stay, positive conversations, and some monetary help when I needed certain things, along with emotional support. Without them I would feel that I was all alone. I wouldn’t have that shoulder I need to lean on for comfort in my time of need.

Another important support would be my technology devices, like my cell phone and laptop. These devices help me communicate with others, stay on schedule, and do important homework assignments. They help me also keep up with my social life and my friends, co-workers, and colleagues. Without technology, my life would be at a whack. I couldn’t communicate as quickly, stay on schedule, and just keep up with daily assignments and people that are in my social life.

 The support of my son Kingston helps keep me motivated to keep pushing forward in life. He has given me a reason and purpose to do my best, so he can have the best and not have to be faced with certain challenges. He is my joy and the reason I am a part of this class today. I don’t even want to imagine the support of his love being away from me. Without him I would be lost, confused, and looking for a certain something to fill the void and joy that only a child can bring.

I also need the basic supports that help me on a daily basis. These are food, shelter, and clothes for me and my son. We need food to nourish our bodies and keep us healthy. Shelter to protect us and keep us safe and warm or cool, depending on the weather in Texas. Clothes to protect our bodies and keep us warm/cool. Without these vital essentials, we would be helpless, hungry, and homeless. I don’t want to even imagine life without them.
