Taking Out The Trash...

Last night's lesson  (actually the final one) in Divorce Care was all about getting rid of the "emotional trash".  For me... worry, anxiety and fear are big ones standing in my way. It was mentioned when I do start to second guess or doubt myself (or the next step shown to me to point me toward what is actually intended for me) to stop and see where it is coming from. Doing this, I have  come to realize those doubts come from a life time of trusting and hearing several very dysfunctional  and hurtful people in my past. 

I know not everyone is religious or has faith (but most of us do fare better with SOMETHING or SOMEONE  to believe in.) It was to remind me to have faith and remember God, his love and mercy he does show us.   To stop doubting and wasting time and energy on the what ifs and instead focus on the positives, blessings and lessons learned to help me in the future.  That was another very big point made....Stop living and looking to the past.... Instead, concentrate, focus and pray for guidance and direction toward those steps toward a future.   

I have learned and felt for  some time that all those things I have been through, people who have touched my life  (on here or in the "real world") have all served as pebbles on my path pointing me toward that happier ,healthier life.  I consider myself lucky that  HE has been gracious enough to provide these lessons ( and special people) to guide me.   I think a last article for me is to allow  myself the freedom to finally have the courage and perseverance to do what I have wanted for close to 2 years now....

TO START OVER ... perhaps find someone who does want to share the same.... or maybe just to simply BE who I am and what I want and need to do and be... to find happiness , contentment and perhaps share just what I have with others . (Something I do find as I share my story with others also struggling. )

I am thankful for all the blessings I am given... INCLUDING MANY OF YOU HERE.  :)  Thanks!
