I have a lot to do tomorrow, but not as much as today because Jason and I are going out with friends to a new restaraunt tomorrow (well, it is new to Jason and I!)
You know, I have been thinking about this question a lot, “What would I do if I were to lose my job tomorrow?” I want to make sure that I am in a situation where, if I were to lose my position, my world would not come to a crashing halt!!! I am not sure what those steps to shore up my foundation are going to look like, or maybe I have already started the process, but I am committing now to live my BEST LIFE EVER! To live like I was meant to live, in the here and now. With grattitude, love, and generosity!!
One of my favorite quotes of all times is:
“God has a bigger dream for your life than you could ever dream for yourself!”
I have always known from a very young age that God has big plans for my life. I have never really been sure what those plans were, or when he was going to give me a glimpse of those plans, but I have come to realize that the time to act is NOW. I need to stop waiting for THE BIG SIGN, and understand that God has been working in all of the LITTLE OPPORTUNITIES that he has laid in my path, and it has always been up to me whether or not to act on those moments. I am tired of stepping over those little opportunities, and I am not going to step over them ANYMORE!!! NOW IS THE TIME FOR ACTION! NOW IS THE TIME FOR VICTORY!!! If I can change even one person’s life by sharing my journey, then THAT is proof of a bigger dream for me than even I had!!!
As the Black eyed Peas, so poetically said:
“LET’S GET IT STARTED!!!”
Until tomorrow!
