The beauty of living a life of active faith for me is that there is always a chance for a fresh start. I have wondered how many times I may need it in my lifetime, but knowing the opportunity always exists is empowering. No matter if I try and fail or take a risk and succeed, the gift growth brings is something I do not want to live without....... I refuse to.
I call it active faith because I personally am tired of the kind that recites repetitive prayers hoping for a miraculous intervention. It may happen, don't get me wrong, but I need to be an active participant rather than a sideline spectator. It's just the way I live my life in other areas, so why should this be any different?
It has taken me awhile in this second chance I've been given, but I think I am getting a grasp on real love. It is not at all what I thought it would be in this second go around, but may be what I need it to be...... I wanted the type of security, safety, and support I had become familiar with after 25 years; I am finally accepting something else special, at this time in my life............
I was extremely encouraged today, this weekend, meeting and talking to several young people who have big plans for their life, one of which is heading to the L.A. area. Relaying experiences and encouraging him was so fun and we assured him we have his back; I am here for support which is definitely needed........ all over. Speaking life........
Chynna and partner Dante lost in semi-finals today at Sportsfest, but played so well. Her game has phenomenally increased, as I see the progression from two years ago until now. I am so proud. She is going to make a fantastic coach for MS and the upcoming club seasons. I highly recommend her :) She is the whole package parents :) We need the kind of motivation she brings. She's got a few California friends coming to visit in the next 6 months, who we think would make great additions to the East Coast scene, LOL.
This week has the potential to be almost epic, as some options have come to the table for me. Logan is now in Iowa, practicing with the team at this Nationals competition. As I hugged him goodbye, I felt sad I cannot be there, but I know he can handle himself and I need to be here. I am looking forward to updates on the play.
Thank you all for your continued prayers and support. I couldn't do this without those who have our backs, whether I hear from you or you are "silent partners." I am reaching out far more than I can talk about on Facebook, so your 'investment" is not in vain.
Let's keep moving forward.
