Realizations

I've been on a self-discovery journey for a while now. I've taken some people on it with me at times, some willingly and others had no choice but to go. Most people who really know me know that after my divorce, I felt that I had lost who I was. I had someone say that I was simply amazing considering some things that I had been through. It took me a while to agree with that statement. For a long time, I just thought it was luck that brought me through some of the situations that I've been through. I don't feel that way anymore. Throughout this self-discovery process I strengthend my relationship with God. Me and God are real cool :). I find myself constantly talking to God and also hearing what He says. I know that it wasn't luck that brought me through those situations, it was truly the grace of God. God placed me at all those situations to make me a stronger person, to bring me through it and to tell my story to help others overcome.

My 1st test came at bible study a couple of weeks ago. Pastor was wanting to start The Biggest Loser at church. Ever since I lost weight and started working for weight watchers, I wanted to help my church but I wanted to wait until I knew what I was doing. I didn't want to half step at my church. So when pastor mentioned it, I knew right then that I was put right there at that moment for that reason and this was going to be my first way of helping other people overcome. It kicks off this Tuesday, so we'll see how it goes.

I'm excited about the things in my life right now. There are some minor things that I'd like to change and I'm working on those. There are also major changes that me and God have got to sit down and work out together. I realize that I can't just turn to God for portions of my life, I've got to give it ALL to him - finances, work, home, children, relationships, etc... I know that God will provide for me and will show me the way to go. I've got to be a faithful Christian and continue to live my life the way that he intended me to. There are going to be temptations along the way, but I know that He has a plan for me.

Turning it over to Him,
