Savannah cried once again as her eyes stood fixated on her room's ceiling. "Dad, I wish you were here," she thought taking in a deep breath. Her Dad had died over a year ago. Unfortunately, the wound from losing him was fresher than ever. She massaged her temple once again from the splitting migraine she got earlier from looking at all the overdue bills.
She was the eldest child, and everything automatically fell into her lap. Savannah was in a financial dilemma only God could deliver her out off. What she was making at Millennium International Advertisting was not nearly enough to pay off her growing debt. "Heaven, help me. I need a miracle," she prayed. Savannah sat up reluctantly and got ready for work.
She began to reminisce over her life and the direction she was going. She felt as if she came to crossroads. After college, she had planned to open up her own studio and teach art part-time to young people. Photography, art, and teaching were her first passions. However, the health issues of her father changed the path of her life. Savannah was grateful for all she had, however still felt something was missing. She prayed one day she would be able to do what she loved.
After she got dressed, she headed downstairs and greeted her mom with a warm hug. "Savannah, you look really nice," Victoria said admiring her navy-blue pantsuit with red accessories and silk blouse. "Thanks, mom, for always making me feel so special" Savannah smiled. "Good morning, Kristen and Bradley," she said kissing both brothers on their heads. "Whoa!?" Kristen jerked from the affections of his sister. Bradley laughed at his fifteen-year-old brother's reaction. Savannah giggled too knowing he hated the affection. "You look nice," Bradley said giving her a hug. He appreciated Savannah and the sacrifices she made for the family.
Victoria looked at her children and beamed. She loved to see them together. "Please check at school for your college letters," Savannah reminded him. "I will. Let's go, bro," Kristen encourages his brother. Everyone said their goodbyes. The only missing person who everyone missed was her father.
As Savannah drove to work she started to map out a plan when it came to finances. It was difficult determining what she needed to put resources into when everything was overdue. Savannah found herself back at square one. When she finally arrived at work she immediately got to her workstation and prepared for her busy day ahead.
