God's timing

I woke up this morning and "realized" what I myself need and want.  I will no longer worry about what other people say and think of me.  As my opinion of myself is all that matters.  As long as you are happy with yourself no one can bring you down.  I could look at "GOD" or talk to him and not be ashamed of anything I have done in my life and that is all that truly matters.  He knows me better than anyone and he loves me and because of this I know I will be fine.  So take me as I am or leave me alone because I am not changing for anyone, I am proud of who I am and that is all that matters.  I love "ME"!  I may listen to your advise but don't expect me to take it, I have a mind of my own and it has not led me down the wrong path in 51 years and I am not planning on changing now.  Yes my outlook on life may be different, maybe I am more willing to try new things and maybe I do trust people more than I should.  But when it comes right down to it I "TRUST MYSELF" more.  I may say something because it feels good to say it out loud, but that doesn't necessarily mean that I will act upon it.  I have a strong set of values and I am planning on keeping them.  So think what you want but please don't judge me, because in the end there is only one person qualified to do that, and he is bigger than you.  Let me introduce you his name is  "GOD" have you met him.  You will truly be amazed at what you can do with him at your side.  Best friend in the world.  You can lay all your troubles before him and he will help you to sort them out and be there for you when no one else is.  He is truly amazing. With him anything is possible you just have to wait on his timing.  But aren't the best things in life worth waiting for.  I had to wait 18 years to meet the love of my life, had to wait 9 months for each of my kids.  So yes waiting for God's timing has always brought the best joys to my life so I will wait and see what he has planned for me next.  Love always,   Andree'

but of course you know that, because you remind me in your entries.
thank-you,

Everything you said is true!!!! Thank you for sharing those words from the heart of truth. I just found out at age 59 that I can draw. Drew a few faces a couple of years ago. Wanted to go for art lessons, but never did. Now today I will have my first art lesson. The teacher told me I would be drawing a vase looking at it upside down, drawing it upside down. Monday morning I thought I would try to draw a vase. I was totally amazed, I drew it upside down looking at it right side up. Then I drew a glass looking at it upside down, drawing it upside down. I am excited to go for art lessons. Our God is Amazing and there is no telling where He will take each one of us as we look to Him. My goal is to paint a picture from a photograph. God is so Awesome. God Bless You!!! And Thanks again for sharing. Blessings
