| SERENITY, COURAGE, and WISDOM |
I haven't blogged in a very very long time, but today I decided to come look at this site again and couldn't help myself! Thank you to my devoted friend that has been praying for me the whole time. It means the world to me, and I am so touched by your kindness and caring for me!
Everyday life for me is complicated and some times frustrating, but over all I am doing okay.
I struggled with an eating dissorder
I beat it
I let a guy control and ruin my life
I beat him
I was in my own way to find happiness
I finally moved!
I'm not saying that things are perfect. Life isn't perfect, it is extremely messy! But what's the point in living life if it's perfect? What would you learn? How would you grow?
A friend of mine went into rehab at the biginning of the year. She is now out and I am so proud of her!! I love you girl! One of the days I went to visit her I saw a quote on the wall that I had amazingly never seen before, but I feel in love with it instantly. It's the serenity prayer:
God grant me the SERENITY to accept the things I can not change, COURAGE to change the things I can, and WISDOM to know the difference.
This simple prayer has changed my life.
I could spend all day on here complaining about how tough things have been lately, because they really have been. I had a tough summer. But I've realised that there are so many other things that need my devotion. I have things to offer this world that I haven't given, and it's time to stand up to the realities of a tough life and face them with SERENTIY, COURAGE, and WISDOM.
There are times when it is simply too much to ask to be content with life. Sometimes it's a living hell that you simply can't escape from... I understand being in that position. I've been there. I've been so entangled in the horrible things that life has thrown at me that I missed all of the opportunities to get untangled again.
To anybody out there who understands the feeling that I'm talking about: depression, fear, hopelessness, pain, loneliness.. I am so sorry. But I have hope to offer you. Go back to my old blogs and read through a few of them. The truth is, if I can pull through that, have hope. Because I was a wreck. (To say the LEAST.) but when I learned how to rely on other people (in a healthy way) reach out for help, and actually let them help me when I was reaching out, I came through it stronger and wiser than I ever thought possible.
