pep talk

Reading through some of my journal entries over the past few years, I found one titled "lessons learned".  As the words that I had written sank in again, I was reminded of the place I was at the time I wrote them.  I was revived by the faithfulness of my God who was with me then and is here now and will still be with me all of my tomorrows.  And, I am thankful for the pep talk I gave myself.  The lessons learned back in August of 2009 are still relevant today.  

*no matter what people may say, listening to God and following the leading of the Holy Spirit always is the best thing!

*waiting is HARD, but so totally worth it!

*God gives you gifts AND places you where you can use them!

*You cannot let fears, no matter how founded they are, get in the way of following your heart.

*somewhere, somehow...God is the author of these!

*being in God's will for your life is so much better than any other place even if it's hard to get through at the moment.

*passion is important

I think I just gave myself a present by finding this list tonight.  Happy Day!

My health journey to where I am today began back in 2010. It is amazing that things do not happen accidentally, even if they seem to in the beginning. Actually, as the pieces of my story have come together, this story begins w

anchored

My word for 2018.  Anchored. To keep from drifting. Representative of stability and strength. Connected. Held.  Grounded.  Positioned.  Fixed. Movable. Small, yet, essential part of a bigger entity. It is a standard by which to live; a goal for which to strive. Anchored.
