†Child of God â€
I feel blessed in what life has given me. Have I had obstacles in my life? ABSOLUTELY!!! Who hasn’t!?! But every experience, good and bad, has molded me into who I am today. I FIRMLY believe there is a lessen to learn from everything – although we may not understand it or see it at the time, I think if you want to and look hard enough (perhaps down the road) you’ll see what positive may have came out of the perhaps ‘not-so-great’ situation. God has always used pain in my life to help me grow. As the saying go, "God reveals to heal." Often times it's just really understanding what he's trying to show us! So I often find myself praying and asking, "God, what are you trying to teach me? What am I suppose to be learning here? And please help me figure it out!" We can’t always control what happens to us in life, however the one thing we CAN always control is how we react to it; how we let it impact us. We can choose to dwell on the negative things in the past or the positive things in the past. (But we know, dwelling on the past is not right, according to God - Isaiah 43:18) We can choose to be a victim in life (poor me)…or be grateful for what we have. Whether we want to believe and/or accept it, we each control our own feelings and we can choose what we want to think of other people and/or situations. There was a quote I came across (on a bumper sticker of all places) that explains this point effectively. It said, “Remember YOU are responsible for creating your life by every THOUGHT, ACTION, and CHOICE. Choose well!†Another quote I really appreciate (from Albert Einstein) goes something like, “Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the definition of Insanity.†To me this says, If you’re not happy with your life, change something, do something different, otherwise you are destine to get more of the same! Sometimes change can be scary, but sometimes thinking of things as being the same in a year from now can be even scarier! Typically change is a good thing, although it seems few choose to view it that way. Another quote I appreciate is, “Those who have low expectations deserve exactly what they getâ€. If you didn’t notice, I like quotes.Aside from my outlook on things in life...I'm a responsible, respectful, authentic, down to earth girl. I have my quirks (much like most people), aside from openly sharing my viewpoints/beliefs, I would say that it’s probably the way that I can be particular in the way I like things…I guess one could say I’m a little on the ‘anal retentive’ side. (i.e. I sometimes straighten things in the aisles when I’m shopping, I like labels to face forward in the cupboards/fridge, I like things to be stacked from short to tall, etc.) I’m just goofy that way I guess. I am open, honest, and forth coming about who I am and what I think. A trait that is probably my most envied and despised. Some are appreciative and love me for it while others probably wish I would just keep my thoughts to myself…I’m true to who I am and will say what I feel needs to be said. I’m not a ‘sweep it under the rug’ kind of gal. Please don’t misunderstand me, I’m not rude or trying to offend anyone, but I’m not the ‘quiet, keeps her thoughts to herself’ kind of girl either. I try to be as tactful and sensitive as possible when sharing my thoughts as I realize sometimes I’m delivering a message that may be difficult to hear. My intent is NEVER from a negative/hurtful approach, much to the opposite. Typically I’m trying to give positive feedback and have them look at something from another point of view. Unfortunately it’s not always perceived / received that way…so it’s something I continue to work on. It truly is my best attempt to speak truth in love (Eph 4:15). ♥I'm confident, but not conceded. Morals and values are important to me being from the Midwest. I'm an animal lover, especially dogs and cats-although I'm allergic to cats (and negative people)-did I mention I have a cat? Yeah, now that's love! I'm not into drugs or drama and have faith in GOD.
