Practice what you preach. It's been a long time, if ever, since I've done that. I am only stuck, discouraged, lost, unhappy if I let myself be, if I CHOOSE to be. I CHOOSE to be different. I am tired of the negativity, jealousy, disappointment in myself. I can do this, but not alone. I need YOU to comfort and guide me to give me strength. This is NOT SELFISH. I need to find my own happiness before I can truly give to and serve others. The time is NOW. From time to time, I will back into a corner like I've done in the past ; however, this time is different. I will not stay there long. This is not for me, this is for YOU to utilize the skills you have given me to their potential. I TRUST IN YOU!
No Couch!
Weeks (June 2015-June 2016)
- The first step is the hardest part, but I am ready. It is time to push myself, time to truly explore what I am capable of and what makes me happy. I know that my faith should be enough to find strength and happiness, but faith is action. I cannot only think about what I can do through my faith, I need to live it. I am ready to see where this takes me. I know I have PASSION for certain things, it's just difficult to find the right avenue to give it PURPOSE. I am hoping to find both in my search. Kid's Food Basket in GR has always interested me because of the combination of community outreach and teaching and I just discovered another organization that mixes my love of music and community development (Will Play for Food). I'll keep my eye on these.
