You know how fast life can change, over these past 15 months, I can honestly say that life has changed drastically. These have been some of the hardest months I've ever faced. I'm not sure what I did along the way to deserve this misfortune but here we are. I realized that we were riding a high for so long that eventually the bottom had to fall out. Well it did and it soaked everyone in its wake. I look at pictures from that time frame and the pain I feel is immense. Looking back at our happy smiling faces and not knowing what we would face in the future is heartbreaking. If I could go back to the person I was 15 months ago and prepare him for the challenges ahead, I would in an instant. But the story and show must roll on right? Time doesn't stop for us even when we are going through all of the challenges we face on a daily basis. We have lost family members, lost jobs, loss, loss loss loss loss loss......... It se...
Eventually at some point in our lives we are faced with a situation that no one can ever expect. It can range from various events but none the less we cannot be fully prepared for what may lie ahead. At times I often wonder if what we go through in this life does not provide us a better eternity. I'm not sure if those of you who are reading this believe in a higher being (whatever that may look like for you) but I often wonder if we are given certain situations that shape us into who we need to be for the future. Recently my family received some news surrounding a family member that none of us were expecting. However we must take it one step at a time, much like you who are reading this. Whatever situation you face, you have to take it one step at a time. We do not grow (traditionally) by leaps and bounds, but rather slow and steady. I know at times it is tough to find that inner strength and courage to keep pressing forward, but in the e...
Here we go.... Hang onto your seats... What is pain and resentment? What does that look like to you? Often times we take that hurt that harmed us and we carry it around with us for a very long time. I find myself carrying the things of the past that I cannot go back and fix. I find that I let those past events shape my future, the way that I treat my relationships and the way that I treat my kids. I often times swore to myself that I would not treat people the way that I had been treated but here I was doing those same things to them. It was a cycle that I thought I could break on my own and that I thought I was strong enough to fight against that by myself. I was wrong... Dead wrong. Often times we struggle with those pains that we felt so long ago and we carry that with us and it weighs us down. The burden can become so heavy that we allow it to steal the life from us. We allow that resentment for whatever ...
There ya go!
