During the last five or six months, I've been here and there and back again and I don't just mean that in the emotional sense. I've actually moved three times. After a year like this, you can begin to wonder just where it is that your heading anyway and how you're even going to get there.
So often it seems to be a less difficult task to imagine my life twenty years from now as apposed to a mere year or two. I suppose it is a result of the fact that we imagine it taking decades to get past the darkness and despair of our lives when in reality, it is in our surrender to this way of thinking that makes it take so long for us to dig our way out.
"Every victory comes in time, work today to change tomorrow
It gets easier, who's to say that you can't fly?
Every step you take you get, closer to your destination
You can feel it now, Don't you know you're almost there?
.... Keep the dream alive, Don't let it die
If something deep inside keeps inspiring you try, Don't stop
And never give up, don't ever give up on you
Don't give up...."--- (Never Give Up by Yolanda Adams)

Fear and Faith:
Fear Imprisons... Faith Frees
Fear Troubles... Faith Triumphs
Fear Cowers... Faith Empowers
Fear Disheartens... Faith Encourages
Fear Darkens... Faith Brightens
Fear Cripples... Faith Heals
Fear Puts Hopelessness at the Center of Life... Faith Puts Fear at the Feet of God

You know, I was sitting in the middle of my room yesterday, on a deflated air matress, thinking about how this room I was in seemed to represent my life. Half- packed boxes messily stacked, a suitcase with clothes and misc. items literally overflowing out of it. It was chaos... complete chaos.
My cat was walking around all of this, sniffing curiously at just about everything and although he was learly of some of the items (such as the vacuum), it didn't stop him from checking all of it out.
Life really should sometimes be lived that way. A fear of the unknown shouldn't keep us from finding out what it is that we're meant to do with our lives and who we're meant to be. Do more than exist... LIVE.
