Lastarr's Gratitude Story - I was lost, but now I am found!
I stopped waiting for what I didn’t have and started thanking God for what I already did—and that changed everything.
Hello to all,
I was born and raised in the Atlanta, GA area. For many years, I struggled with financial hardship, homelessness, unhealthy habits, and ungratefulness. Then God and my guardian angels came to my rescue.
At one point, I had to make a difficult choice between keeping my home or moving thousands of miles away to start over. Eventually, I decided to move to South Dakota with no one but my two daughters.
I didn’t like the idea of starting over with no family and only a small delivery job to rely on. It was a true test of faith. I used to complain about how small the town was and worry about how we might be treated. But soon, I began praying more, writing positive affirmations, and focusing on gratitude. I downloaded the Gratitude app and started working on my mind, body, and soul.
Slowly, everything began to change. I started being truly grateful not for what I didn’t have, but for everything I had already been blessed with.
Gratitude goes a long way. It gives you hope through every journey, struggle, and fear. We must be grateful that the past no longer defines us, yet still teaches us lessons to move forward.
I’m deeply grateful that I took the leap to start over. It was worth it. My children and I are no longer homeless, hungry, or hopeless. Every morning I wake up, I give thanks because gratitude gives me the strength to keep moving forward through every season of life.
Be blessed, stay prayed up, and be grateful. 🙏🏽
