I have not written in so long, but, I think that I am going to try it again.
My mind has been going a million miles an hour these last few months and I needed a place to write my thoughts. A lot of what I will write will be ramblings and you may not understand. Just know, that this is a place for me to clear some of my head.
Dry Bones-
I have been thinking a lot of where my life is going. Why am I where I am in this stage in life. If you would have asked me 10 years ago, I would have told you that I would have been married by the time I was 33 with a kid or two. Well, this year, when I turn 33, I will not have a husband, nor will I have children. Does this make me sad? Yes. Do I think that God has someone for me? Maybe. Am I giving up? Some days I feel like it.
BUT...
Life isn't about MY plans.
As difficult as this concept it, I have to accept it. God has his timing and I have mine. Why should I worry about the 'What could have been's'? They weren't supposed to happen and I have to be okay with that.
My FOCUS needs to be on Christ, not on ME and my past relationships.
NO LOOKING BACK
My whole being has been dry-dead-gross lately by dwelling on these things. I can't let that be. I can't let who I think I should be stand in the way of WHO I AM in Christ!
No more comparison. God has me in a different place than my friends and family. I need to embrace our differences and not compare myself to others. Now, that is a tricky trap to get into and it is SO easy to get trapped. So pray for me as I journey to freedom from this sticky mess I am in.
Wake these dry bones.
