Thanks for the Trials

I'm so thankful for new people in my life, new relationships, and lots of support that stemmed from this weekend's Celebrate Ladies event.  What's crazy is that I almost feel paralyzed today.  I think the fear of failure with so many eyes upon me could be the reason, but leave it to friends to help me through this as well.  I know that I cannot let fear steal my dreams, so if I fall, y'all help me up!  I'll be there to do the same.  I will promise this, though.  I may fall, but I won't stay down long.  I'm just going to rely on my God to show me the path, the steps to take, and the rest is up to me.  From the book, In a Den with a Lion on a Snowy Day, you should be thankful for your trials, because without those, you wouldn't be as close to God.  This sounds really weird, but thanks for the trials, Lord!  :)

Celebrating Blessings

In this busy, busy world, it's so easy to get caught up in life and what is "wrong" in life, so I've decided to focus on my blessings and being positive.  If I write about my blessings, then I will have to recall and recognize what I'm truly being blessed with day to day.  I love to write, so what better way to combine a passion with a goal of feeling more of life's blessings into one.  I'm doing this more for myself than for others, but if it helps you, please join me in celebrating the blessings in your life.
