There are a lot of things in my life that I could have chosen to doubt.  Things that many would say were impossible.  I am firmly grounded in faith and choose to live from a perspective that all things are possible. 

My life has moved through many failures and fought off many obstacles.  I have changed direction, location, and careers.  As we experience life-altering things like loss of employment, death of a child or spouse, difficulty conceiving, etc., we are put in a position of having to choose how we will react to the change.  Are we able to move through the pain and see the next opportunity?  Through all my suffering, I never doubt that there is a light around the corner, just a prayer away. 

The same can be true for things we need to let go of for whatever reason.  It might be a career, your home, the city where you live, the friends you have cultivated, but now need to leave.  We have a choice to dread and doubt the change or embrace the change.

I could’ve said there’s no way I can do this alone.  Flying solo for 19 years, moving back to the state where I was born, raising twin girls, assisting with aging parents, and working part-time.  I could’ve made excuses, but instead, I prayed and found peace, leaving no room for doubt.   

Never allowing myself to doubt the journey I was given.  I never looked back and wished for a do-over because all those things that I had and lost made me who I am today.  All my failures, all my losses, all my struggles and sacrifices brought me through this incredible journey called life.  I realize that my journey has made me who I am today and will guide me to where I’m going tomorrow.

We all have our reasons for worry, allowing ourselves to be caught in the noise and wondering “What if?” That has always been off-limits to me. Not for one second have I thought about what my life would’ve been like had these things not happened.  All those life experiences are preparing me for my purpose.  All those things are making it possible to fulfill God’s plan for me.

I would not be who I am today without all my mistakes and failures. And although I am far from perfect and have much to learn, I’m grateful for my true faith, my unwillingness to doubt my unstoppable love for Jesus.
