So I've been thinking again, yes I know sometimes when I do a lot of thinking it gets me into trouble or it gives me some sort of insite as to where I think my life if heading. Well this time it was neither of those two things. I actually was thinking about what my life was like 5 year ago, 3 years ago, 1 year ago, 6 months ago, 2 months ago, last week. Sometimes I think we get stuck thinking that life is the same "everyday". That nothing changes and we just move in and out of life with no change. BUT when you step back and look at what life has been like over the course of years...wow! I believe that everything that has taken place over the last 5 years was for a reason...to get me to where I am right now. To prepare me for what I'm doing right now. I am so close to the final stretch of this journey I can feel it. I'm ready to complete the goal and then onto the bigger part...maintaining it. That my friends will be the hardest part. But I'm ready.

Oh my word, I can't tell you how many times I have checked this over the weekend to see if the day arrived!! It was like I was tracking a package that I have been anxiously waiting to be delivered! I just know that the big day is going to come soon and that my dear is awesome!!! (not that 99 pounds isn't....;)
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how many people I have shared your story with... I don't know whether you realize it or not, but you have a very powerful story!! You have taken on this adventure with such truth and boldness - really, that is amazing just watching you get started in it! I heard someone quote something today and it went something like this..."It is not that you finish the race, it is the fact that you started it in the first place." At first, when I heard this I was like what? It is all about finishing.... however, after thinking about it, I see the point and the grandness in the "getting started" part. Well, how does it feel to have that big part of the race behind you? YOU DID IT!!!! And you did it well!!!! NOW.... we move on to the finish and I think this will be the biggest challenge, but the happiest most rewarding part too!!!! I can't even imagine what it is going to feel like when you cross the finish line... only you know that.... so here's to the next step, I will keep praying, cheering and loving on you!!! You are awesome ;)
Love you a bunch!!!
