Anyway, today was a great day!! Have you ever wondered if you are headed in the right path, if this is really what God meant for you life? I have often wonder that about writing this book. I have been contemplating it for months, probably years, hence why I didn't keep blogging when I started it last year. I just never knew if I was ready for this. To re-live the 11 months that turn me from 19 year old crazy girl to a mature 20 year old young adult. Well I got my answer today!!
I was wasting some time today before I had to go pick up Blake from work, so I went to Divine Truth Christian Book Store. I had never been there, I was more of a Parables fan, until today. The main reason I went in there was to find some youth ministry books, but I found alot more. I was looking at all the amazing photos they had on the walls and the reading the scriptures written on them, and then the picture below caught my eye.
For those of you who have never met my mom her name was Iris. When I saw this I almost cried. It was like she was sending me a sign to let me know she was here. I mean how perfect is that. Maybe iris flowers are commonly tied to mothers but it was my mother. I plan on going back to get that picture and put it in my office, where it can remind me of prayer, hope and love everyday.
As I continued looking at pictures and wall hangings I came across the the following wall hanging.
WOW...Really!?! When I first read it I couldn't believe I was really reading what I was reading. I read it like two or three times just mesmorized by what it was saying. During the 11th months I had lost Hope, Faith, and Spirit at least once. The only thing I never strayed from was Love. As I read this I knew that God was speaking to me and showing me I was on the right path. The words above are such strong words to someone who is dealing with cancer or has a loved one dealing with cancer. I was almost angry because I felt like if I would of had more Hope, Faith and Spirit for my mom....then I realized that is not the message I was suppose to be getting, the message was that even though I have been effected by cancer, it has no right to take my Love, Hope, Faith or Spirit away. Those are my God given rights and he was showing me that.
Well, on the same rack that I found the above hanging, I found the last piece to my puzzle.
Today was the first time sense I first became a true follower of Chirst, that I finally new I was on the path he had planned for me. That this book was meant to be written and though it maybe along, narrow, rocky path to take, I have faith it is the right one. How you ever felt that you have finally found your purpose in life?? Today I think I finally found mine. That i am meant to tell my story. For what purpose I am telling my story will eventually appear but until then I will by faith and see what comes of it!
Thanks for all your support as I/we take this journey together!!
God Bless!

and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight."
