Hitting rock bottom can turn out to the best thing that has ever happened to you if you just “give up.” Give up your pain, your hurt, your anger, your loneliness, your struggles and let God take control.
During the part of 2015 where I literally had that hitting rock bottom experience. I had a very good friend of mine
tell me this…
“Think about your life, how you want it to be in the future. All
the people you’ll touch, all the good you’ll bring to the world. Find what
really makes you happy and passionate and chase it! Find your dream, fall in
love with your dream, love yourself, and God will take care of the rest.”
That
challenged me. Not at first. At first all I could see was right then. I was
hurt. I was angry. I was sad. I didn’t know what I wanted from life. But over
the course of the year I figure it out.
I wanted to
write this so it painted a beautiful story and scene in your mind but I came to
the conclusion just a plain old list would be better. It’s a list that is not
even worded well. My English teach would be sad to see all these incomplete sentences.
But here it is.
2015, you’ve taught me a lot…
Heartbreaks will
heal so don’t be afraid to Love with all you have
I re-found
my passion
Never give
up on my dream.
I love youth ministry
“Be Still and Know that I am God”
Crying is ok
Sometimes
the friends I need the most, live right next door
Invest my
time with others
Jesus is the best
Be present
Love big
My identity
is found in Christ
Life is too short
to stress
Live life
with confidence
Take time to
listen and find out peoples’ stories
Friends come
in ALL ages
Beauty isn’t
about your physical appearance it’s about your heart
Strength
isn’t JUST about how much you can lift, it’s about how strong your relationship
with Jesus is
Family is
important
Time is
something you never can get back
Be my crazy
self
Thank you
Jesus and 2015 for shaping me into who I am.
Maybe this post is more for me. TO remember, to
look back and to see that this past year I let go of my life and let God take
control.
“Think about
your life, how you want it to be in the future. All the people you’ll touch,
all the good you’ll bring to the world. Find what really makes you happy and
passionate and chase it! Find your dream, fall in love with your dream, love
yourself, and God will take care of the rest.”
If you
haven’t found who you are and what you’re passionate about find it over 2016
friend!
Find it at the beginning. Dream it. Chase it. Live it. Own it. And Love
Big.
