There is Something About a Blank Canvas..

Have you ever just stared at a blank page? Wondering if you're ever going to make that list, or write that thought down?
Too many times we fall back and don't focus on our goals.
There have been many things that have come to light during this "graduation season" and the beginning of "The Summer of 2014".
First: I am smart. Maybe too smart for my own good. I have convinced myself of lots of things, but never have I grasped the idea that I have some brains; smart ones.
Second: My God is a VERY gracious God. Now this isn't a new idea, but it has been highlighted ever so brightly in my mind. Over and over I fail, I sin, I fall and there He is to always pick me up and hold me tight; continuing to make me stronger and SMARTER! With His grace flooding into my heart I am just in such awe of how much He truly loves us, each of us, all the same. NO matter what.
Third: I can do anything I put my mind to. This is just proof that #1&2 have really been sinking in.
Fourth: When you have something special in your life, do not take it for granted; because it could just as soon be gone. Don't rush life. Take time to smell those daisies!

I have had a "trying" year, to say the least. I have really done a doozy to my support group, my finances, my comfortable necessities in this 1st world zone and many other "things". But I have learn most valuable lessons in this struggle. And I want everyone to know that there is always hope, in Our God. We can do all things through Christ who gives (generously) us strength. We don't need to do it alone. If you don't allow those people that love you the most to permeate through your core then your not actually allowing God to take over your life.

It has been tense for me to be surrounded by family. But once I understood the lessons that they have been ever so patiently been teaching me; I could accept the truth they have been pouring into my life and I have moved on from the guilt, the pain, the struggle of self doubt. And now I have freedom. Freedom in forgiveness of myself, freedom through The Lord. To enjoy this life He gives us to abundantly bless every one of His people.

EVERLASTING YOUR LIGHT SHINES WHEN ALL ELSE FADES.

CONSUME ME FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
