In life, there will be plenty of things that will happen that you may not be proud of. Things that you’d give anything to take back or to do over. There will be moments where you’re embarrassed or ashamed. But it won’t all be bad…these are just the things that may interrupt your seasons of happiness and joy. Continue reading
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking in regards to where I want to be in the next few years. Along the way it has become painfully obvious that no matter how much we plan, God has the ultimate say-so. So, with that in mind, I can have hopes and dreams and pray that I am moving in the right direction, but I have to be prepared for things to just not go as I may want them to.
If I reflect on the past few years, there are many things that I’ve wanted to accomplish, but for some reason I meet someone special, things get put on hold, and before I realize it, years have passed and I’m left regretting not doing more for myself. Of course life lessons came out of each experience, so I can’t be too mad at myself, but I do often wish I’d been just a tad selfish.
If I had to answer my own question, I’d say, “no, I would not alter my dream for love” because I’ve altered, paused, forgot, abused and neglected my dreams for love before. Anyone who truly loves me will join me for the ride and support me along the way.
Normally Monday is blocked out for showing others how to become a blogger, but instead, I am going to do something that some bloggers stray away from…making it personal. The past month has been craaaaazy! I’ve seen death, I’ve seen sadness, I’ve seen friendships change, I’ve seen betrayal, I’ve seen families being torn apart, I’ve seen struggle, I’ve seen pain. There were small sprinkles of fun and laughter, but mostly just a whirlwind of THINGS! Some of them were my things and some were not my things. A part of my journey to fulfilling my life’s purpose isn’t just filled with fun and exciting blog posts; there are major lessons and tests that I experience along the way. When I put everything together, it becomes the sum of a greater whole…each piece of the puzzle playing its own role. I firmly believe that everything that occurs in this lifetime is a lesson to be learned. Regardless of the trials that I go through, one consistent lesson that I always come away with is that life is so darn precious. It is so important to recognize/right your wrongs, to appreciate your blessings and to forgive others even when they don’t forgive you. I’m not afraid of people seeing my bad days because I am who I am. I’m in constant growth and change and perfection has never been claimed. I have done plenty of things that I am not proud of, but one thing is for sure…I can always humble myself enough to recognize/right my wrongs, appreciate my blessings and to ALWAYS forgive (even myself). Maybe this will be just another post that you read today, but I’m hoping that it will help someone along their journey and to be a reminder that you may be in the midst of your storm, but there will always be sunny days again.
