Life's many twists and turns leave me wondering sometimes "Is this really the me I wanted to be?" Is this really the "me" I've become. Some would say I am successful. It doesn't mean I have all the money and wealth I could have had. It doesn't mean that I havn't been foolish at times in my life, it doesn't even count when I have been down right stubborn to see a different point of view. I look to my youth and those complicated teen years when my life was before me and wonder what would have been, if only this hadn't happened, if only I had done... But what does it really matter? Does it keep the rose from blooming, spreading its petals one by one to open to its fullness? Does it keep the azure, blue sky and sunshine glistening on the crisp, white snow from being any warmer on a cold, January day? Does it make one love any less?
Maintaining my positive outlook and having loving relationships contributes significantly to the "me" I am today. The Lord has blessed my life many times over
and I have learned and grown from the times of trial. I love life, having compassion and sharing to lessen someone elses trials is what makes me who I am.
Blessed is the man who perserveres under trial because he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. James 1:12
