In everything give thanks
2018 is just about half way over. Ā As I move along in this year, Iāve felt compelled to reflect and see just how far Iāve come. Ā
This time last year - I was really sad. Ā Thatās the exact word to describe all of me at the time. Ā Fresh out of a break up and thoroughly wanting to get in to a new job - I was at the end of my rope. Ā The two biggest relationships in my life, the one with my ex, and the one with my work, were shattered to a million pieces. Ā I was at a loss. Ā Thankfully, I was able to get in to the state of mind to really fix my work situation. Ā I held on to the only bit of patience that I had left and put it all in my job search. Ā This paid off 10 fold.
The relationship with my Ex was by far a taller mountain to climb. Ā I was left feeling unwanted and abandoned. I wanted only for him to come back and validate me. Ā Tell me that he was wrong, I was the one for him, He never should have left, I was the reason the sun rose and set⦠you get the picture. Ā Eventually tho, with a lot of prayer and a few convos with said Ex, I realized that he neednāt validate shit about me.
If I wasnāt the āoneā for him, then quite frankly, he was not even close to being the āoneā for me. Ā It took a lot of pondering, prayer, and self-love to get me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Ā Itās so true what they say, you canāt love someone properly if you donāt love yourself. Ā I learned that I HAD to care about myself and put effort into myself.
Fast forward to 2018, and I see all the light. Ā God gets all the glory. Ā Let me tell you that prayer works. Ā It doesnāt matter who it comes from, it matterās whoās listening. Ā God is listening at all times. Ā And His timing is perfect. Ā
Now, I have that new job I prayed and prayed for. Ā And I have a new guy that treats me like I deserve to be treated.
What all of this has taught me thus far, is to never lose faith, stay patient, and trust Godās timing. Ā God get all of the glory. Ā All of it. Ā I am not here without Godās guidance. Ā Iām so so thankful for his overseeing my life and not giving up on me.
With that said, though I may have had a rough landing in to 2018, itās been nothing but blessings. Ā Iām so thankful for my days being more good than bad. Ā And having the perspective that adversity is always around the corner, so enjoy the good times. Ā And brace yourself for the bad - but remember they donāt last always.
