As I am reflecting on 2012 I am so thankful that God has
truly taught me the importance of enjoying as Joyce Meyers would say “Everyday
Life.” Sometimes we get so busy trying to succeed and reach our many goals that
we forget to take the time to smell the roses along the way. More often than not I hear someone speak about regrets of not taking time to enjoy their family and simply the blessing of life until its too late. Life is fragile
tremendous gift that each moment should be treasured. So here are
some of the journeys that I am currently enjoying.
Spiritual Journey: God is so amazing that no matter how
close or how long you’ve been serving him, you can never know him enough and
there will always be room to grow. There are still many areas in my life that
He challenges me to surrender completely to him and He is shaping and
transforming me daily. So while I am not where I want to be I am so thankful
that I’m not who I was.
Health Journey: This year has been the year that I
discovered green juices/smoothies. I can personally say that I have reaped
major benefits. However, I have not been consistent but I’m still thankful for
new knowledge and that making healthy choices has always been a lifestyle for
me.
Hair Journey: I learned about hair care a few years ago but
I think this year was really the turning point for me. I went through all the
frustrating points, I was a product junkie, jumped on every bandwagon etc. but
thankfully that is over and at the end of the day it really is just hair. I
refuse to allow my hair to become a frustration. In the meantime I’m enjoying the
health of where it is now not solely focused on where I want it to be.
Whatever journey you’re on I hope that you will take the
time to smell your roses. Celebrate your small victories whether you moved from
a size twenty to size eighteen, furthering your education, becoming debt free,
etc. What are some victories you celebrated for 2012?
Remember where there is life there is always hope:)
