As a younger woman I was impressionable yet with my own intuition. I had many ambitions but no way to translate them into realities. I envisioned myself in a successful business venture, but without a concept of how to create that life for myself.
I didn't know what I wanted to do even as a senior in high school; I felt lost in many ways. I opted for a Business School degree and marriage. I don't remember having anyone speaking into my life, providing direction, so I found some on my own.......
They were my choices to make; however, I needed guidance and good words to help me find a future for myself. When a future isn't envisioned, people perish..... and we are seeing this taking place in drastic ways through dependency issues......
In the past few months, I have had to rise up on behalf of myself, my kids, and the young ones in my life. There are those who will try to tell you who you are, and without a good sense of yourself, you will begin to believe them, whether truth or lies..... which can alter the course of your destiny.
Most do not speak with objectivity but rather with insecurities and jealousies. I've learned to choose to speak life into the young with purpose and intent, so they know they have something meaningful to live for. Previous generations have had their share of problems, so why do we choose to pass them onto our kids? They are meant to live for so much more.....
This generation will be lost if we adults don't get in touch with reality, in the nation and locally. God help us.
Let them go further, faster and farther than we ever imagined.
I know that day is coming.......
