Discovering you!!!

All my life I lived to please other people, I did what other people expected of me, I made decisions based on what I thought others would want me to decide. One day i woke up and asked myself Who are you really? What is your purpose here? What do you want out of life? This is when I decided that no matter what you do in life to please other people, there's always going to be someone that opposes to your decisions. You have to live your life according to what you want and not what other people think you should want. Just think you could impact this world and make a difference if you could only realize that being different or unique isn't a bad thing. I think that I hid behind other people's decisions for my life because i was too afraid to step out and be different. I always had a fear of being criticized or judged because I vowed to be different no matter the cost. Has this ever happened to you? What did you do to make a change?

I think you will learn to balance your life as you get older. Yes you will never please everyone but remember don't trample on other people to make yourself happy. I remember talking to my husband about life many times. We've been through divorces: him with children me without. Anyhow he said that he didn't know the damage he had done to his kids by choosing to get a divorce. There have been times I've had friends tell me that they are unhappy in their marriage and want to be happy. What is happiness? You make it yourself. When they divorced they were never happier. They didn't get the freedom they wanted. I know there are many things in life that make me unhappy yet I give it to God to help me find what is happiness? I don't try to please people because you can never please them like you said but just try to do what is right, even if at times it makes me unhappy.

DOn't worry if you give your life to God wholly, not just partial, though life have its lonely part but when you are with God I'll guarantee you you'll have the best part in the end of the race. God never settle for less so who ever believes in Him and his son Jesus are not just for better but only for the best. Aja! Don't forget to give GOd the best smile you have everyday and seek his guidance.

I did what God wants me to be, and that is to be his disciple, not to be the weird one but to really take my place as his daughter as one of the princess of heaven. I' am clinging to God every step of the way though I falter all the time I know he will never mock me. And I know there is wanting he expect because he believe so..that I am a victorious in everything that I do with his Son Jesus Christ that Strengthen me. God bless, hope ion every change that you make may it glorify God forever. god bless the works of your hands and may he bless your whole family. God bless. Doesn't matter what the whole world expect from you...what matter is what God expect from you, because that is the only thing that has value here on earth and for eternity, and God is the only one who will never doubt your ability to make a change not for the better but for the best! You are created to make a difference and bring honor to the Father in Heaven. God bless. Aja! Happy Journey!
