The Places I may go!

There are things I will never take for granted again.

I have always been a thankful person...........but,

I think as life grabs us we tend to get caught up in the daily chaos and lose a little bit of gravity.

A little bit of purpose and a little bit of gratitude.

For me anyways......

.

.

Life sure grabbed me.....

I was thrown around a bit, {ok ALOT} but HOPE was never lost.

Ever!

.

Gravity is settling in.....

and I have discovered my purpose.  Again.....

And I see the sunny side of HOPE.

Its funny when you look at your life, OR the ones you love dearly, its ALL about the simple things.

Family.

Relationships.

Kindness.

Forgiveness {BIG but simple}

God.

Repentance

The atonement

Love.

Thankfulness.

Service.

and for the big one?

CHOICES!!!

oh my GOSHHHH choices!!!!!

.

I have seen in my own life.

And now seeing it in the eyes of someone I love so dearly!

If I could make a road map, I WOULD!

cuz I know these roads like the back of my hand now.....

I know the danger signs and ALSO know the path they lead you!

I..........HAVE..............BEEN........THERE!!!!

.

.

Pure JOY is being childlike to god with a smile on your face, AND doing his will.

Throwing your hands up in  DA AIR ---willing to listen and DO IT!

Your no longer a prisoner.

Your hopelessness turns into hope.

Your faith allows you to fly. 

THIS IS TRUE PEOPLE!

Its real!

ITS for freeeeaking real!

.

.

These words make so MUCH sense to me now, more then they ever have!

EVER!

I write them down often, cuz i don't want to ever forget.

.

.

 

We have GREAT power within us.

First, we have to want it.

Second we have to ask for it

Third we have to do the work for it!

.

.

that's all.........

Enough of that,

.
