I am going to start thinking of the ways to rework my life and get things in as much order as possible before the new year so I can have a clean slate.
I have very good feelings for 2011

"...Challenge makes you discover the gifts within you..." -Michael Beckwith during a lecture at CSUN
I went to a lecture at CSUN this past year to hear Michael Beckwith speaking and that is one of the transforming things he had said. I had forgotten about it and facebook had this application where they compiled various status updates from over the year and I came across it again. At just the right timing as it always happens that way.
Many challenges have come to me this year and they all have and are continuing to push me forward...or would the correct thing be to say inward.... Well in all reality it could always be worse and yet it could always be better as well. I believe everything is all in life's lessons and plans anyways. I feel like times seem to be harder when obstacles comes because the obstacles change the equilibrium that I was riding on beforehand. It's all in learning. Sometimes circumstances simply push me into certain emotions like tears, sadness, anger, depression, happiness, laughter, joy, smiling, peace. I suppose now as I grow as a human it does get easier to bounce back to the center...or maybe I just give it over to God more quickly now.
I ponder many things...I enjoy pondering. Sometimes it does me good and sometimes I come to the point where I give it to God. The truth is that I really cannot handle anything on my own- NOTHING...that's why I give it to God as I understand Him. My relationship with God today is my saving grace. I have tailored it to me- and I appreciate all religions and all facets of life, knowings, and understandings. All that I've learned thus far has given such a substantial degree of peace of mind, heart, body, and soul. I am truly and ever grateful to be in this place today because I know all the other ways I have felt and been otherwise.
So yes, it is true. Challenge has made me discover the gifts within me.
