Surprises teach us so much but are you ever really READY for them???

One of the first things I have realized after hearing my dad had cancer was that you cannot possible plan everything out as much as you thought. You will never be fully prepared. I have faith in a God and his love for us. I believe in an afterlife that is so much more powerful and joyful than the life we are all in right now. That does NOT make surprises easy. The FOUNDATION that you build before the surprises come, help to see growth happen in the midst of hardship, pain, and grief.

We create these "what if" stories. This post I wrote right after hearing my dads diagnosis and the mannyyyyy 2020 life surprises. This was just the beginning of growth in this season. 

Can we start to expect the surprises we all get excited for again? Are you expecting surprises, are you expecting God to use you? Start looking for them. Start searching for them. Start believing they will happen. Some of those surprises that we dream are actually blessings that you just cant see yet.

• I am free, I don’t have to ask for permission to do anything. Independence is my favorite word. 
• I get to feel lonely. Trust me, its HARD. As soon as negative thoughts start to creep in you have to sort them. Some of the most common...
  • "What if I stayed with him/her, THEN I could have kids right now and a house and my dream job."
  • "What am I doing wrong, why does no one like me?"
    • Are you loving and respecting yourself the way you want someone to love and care for you? That's step one. Check out this episode all about body image and self-worth
    • Step two, are you looking at a checklist for your man to follow?
  • "Should I just settle?" Nope. 
• I get to be gitty and excited and dream of the relationship I will have in the future when I am ready, when my heart is ready and when he is ready. Maybe that's next week maybe that's in 5 years. Who. Knows. I don’t and I am ok with that.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*** by Mark Manson

A little bit of everything in this pep talk and tactical tips. Get ready for the tough love...

When you get lost in the woods, do you just sit down and say screw it hoping for your car to just show up spontaneously before sunset? Didn't think so. Why do we act like this in life? We sit and HOPE for change to happen and THAT is when we feel "lost."

Now, instead of just trying to sprint in any direction. Lets sit on it, look at the map and wait 24 hours to process whats next. This next step is a SINGLE step, not 25 steps. Movement builds momentum and that is when the motivation appears. Just move. The path with be discovered along the way.
