A change gon' come
Wow...it's been a minute. Did ya miss me?? *wink*
Life has taken over and it's been difficult to find time to blog. But...I'm back on track and hopefully, you'll hear more from me!
The last 2 years have been interesting to say the least. It seems that just as I recovered from one crisis, another was looming. My patience, faith, and tenacity were all put to the test.
But now...I'm on the other side of the drama and as always, I'm looking back in retrospect trying to contemplate the lessons I was supposed to take away from all this. A couple things have become very apparent...
Firstly, we're all alot stronger than we think. There's nothing like a series of crises to put us to the test and reveal the survivor in us all.
Secondly, it's not just about surviving..it's about living. And living, is not just about the quest to acquire more material gain, the next big promotion, or the perfect man or woman. Living...truly living is about finding purpose in your existence and that purpose should include helping someone else recognize their full potential.
I'm realizing now, more than ever, that the reason we go through crisis is ultimately to help someone else. You can never really be of service to anyone if you haven't been where they are. Otherwise, you're just paying lip service and not really adding much value.
Struggle is never fun. It's not easy, and it hurts like hell. But in actuality, struggle is, in my opinion, growth pains for grown-ups. There's usually a lesson for you to learn that for whatever the reason, didn't become apparent the first 50 times so God, in his infinite wisdom, decided you were going to learn the lesson no matter what the cost.
When you're going through the struggle everything gets thrown off. Your thoughts are consumed with the struggle. Everything you do or say is in some way a by-product of whatever it is you're going through. Sleep is affected, your appetite, and sometimes...even your will to go on is shaken.
But if you can just hold on...change always comes. What seemed like something that was unbearable suddenly pales in comparison to the reality of what lies ahead.
I'm not saying it's easy cause God knows it aint. But if you can just hold on, even when there doesn't seem as though there's anything left to hold on to...you can reap in due season if you just don't faint.
See ya on the flipside!!
