2024 we are here and I am approaching Chapter 49 of this life. It's been a journey since I last wrote in here. 2 years has gone by so fast.
I have encountered lots of obstacles with my physical health along with my mental health. I see life through a new lens now. Although life has had its moments I now see the bigger picture. I am seeing how God orchestrated my life thus far.
A few days ago I closed a chapter in my life that was very special to me but with that closure came a pain I will never forget. The matters of the heart are the most difficult to endure. I met my first love again in person after 34 years . It was bitter sweet!
34 years ago we had to separate because of a selfish act that a particular adult in my life forced our break up.
It was amazing to see my first love again but with that came a realization that everything in my life happens for a reason.
Sometimes what we want is not in Gods timing and we must sacrifice our own wants for what is right.
Suffice it to say I know God has a plan for my life and I realized that my obedience to His plans far surpasses my sacrifice.
Although it didn't work out this time around and the pain of this loss once again will take a long while to overcome, I know that everything works out for the best in the right time.
Meanwhile in these last two years, I have gained 2 new lovely grandchildren whom I adore. I have finally after 5 long years got to visit my son in prison and hug him tight on his 25th bday. I have lost some dear friends as their journeys here on earth have ended, have won some battles and lost some as well, but most importantly I have found myself! I will still CHOOSE love over bitterness and continue to embrace my life journey.
I understand now why sometimes when we want things in life so bad they don't come to fruition. My eyes have been opened and my spirit has been awakened. I know my true purpose and will not allow things to deter me off the path God has predestined for my life.
I have met so many amazing people in these last 2 years that would not be possible had God not had them cross my path. I am reassured that nothing in my life thus far wasn't meant to happen. Good or bad, joyful or sad, it was all meant to be.
Everyone lives this life in seasons and rhythms and some seasons and rhythms take you to the valleys and are harsh but with every valley we go through God will elevate us up to the mountain tops.
I pray that as I turn 49 and in years to come, I will always embrace life as it comes and see the lesson and or blessing in everything.
Until next time may God bless and keep you all and thank you for taking the time to read my life story.
