Who knew.......... the stretching that would take place for me, for my children, and all who have been part of and in our lives almost four years and counting. Although we seem to have a tendency to forget the past, which can be a good thing, when in context of destiny....... and the future.... and promises. But can quickly be recalled when failure, or the future, is called into question.....

I know I may be an odd one, one called to remind you of hope, of gain from loss, and of your God given destiny awaiting, even though life around us creates loss and speaks fear on a continual basis. Contrasts and contradictions.

These reminders are meant to secure the hope to which we are called, fastening your soul to purpose, your heart to His love, and your spirit for the future.

Who knew how tough it would be to "forget what is behind and reach forward", as the Apostle Paul so eloquently puts it in Philippians 3. What is behind is the past, yet it is human nature to hang onto what is known and familiar. I may make mistakes, as any fallible female does; however, I am not meant to live in my past. None of us are.

I am made to press on to my future, as are you.......

The straining and stretching towards it has come with a price because I have had to learn to let go on a multitude of levels. When I think I've let go of a final thing, another "fear" comes to my face, and I continue the process. I reach for the sky..... to a place where I know I can see limitless possibilities for myself.... and you.

Today I had my "vision" checked. I, of course, was well overdue.

It seems it is time for a whole my view........
