This is an important day for me.
I am beginning a new chapter in my life’s story.
I am finished being the east coast girl on the west coast. I am finished with insecurity and
self doubt.
I can remember this as the last day of the job I never imagined I could handle. I
can remember this as the year I did two years of induction and training in six months- the time when I also took many accelerated college classes for five months, still earning a 4.00. The year I won a powerful respect and a love from my students unlike anytime before…
This year an entire campus of students at three schools fell
in love with me…this past year I suffered, but my husband helped pull me through.
Do I have regrets? Yes, letting my health go a bit. Spiritually and
physically, I feel worn down. I will
recommit to being healthy. I will commit
to searching for a more balanced way…
I will start this new chapter of my life with godly priorities. I will not be beaten down or scared by my
past experiences. I will keep on. I will lift my head high.
I will make a comeback in the areas where I am broken down and
weak. I will be stronger. I will be better. I will be wiser. I will be more experienced.
This is a new chapter…better things are ahead. I will be less lonely. I hope I will find more friends in California.
I have the love and support of friends and
family far away. Despite the distance between us, I HAVE NOT LOST THEM.
Praise God.
On the inside I am standing tall, figuratively limping a little when I walk, but Lord willing, my
weakness and pain is nothing that time, resting, and healing cannot overcome. I can regain my mental and spiritual
reservoirs of strength. I can be built
back up by those who love me. I can
revive in better days with more rejoicing. Praise the Lord.
Psalm 30:4-5
4 Sing the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people;
praise his holy name.
5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.
praise his holy name.
5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.
