“Fake it till you make it” “believe it and you’ll achieve it” “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”….. all mantras I have lived, but I’m ready to quit surviving by these and start thriving. All cheesy quotes aside (let’s face it quotes are just that. Words.) I NEED change. I crave change. And my sister’s favorite quote “Be the change you wish to see”… well those words are the words I am ready to start living. The challenging part is the how to make these words into reality.
Lately I've been feeling restless and discouraged... pretty sure it has to do with the string of challenges that have placed themselves in life's way, but then again I guess that's what makes life life right? Cancer, deaths, economic hardship, job loss, hope lost, hope gained, promises made, promises broken, hope hanging on by a thread, more economic hardship, little miracles, bills piling, good news, sad news, straight up devastating news, more positive news, celebrations, some necessary and some unnecessary drama, isolation, holding on with hope and loads of prayer... the constants in all this???? My faith, my hope for a positive outcome (or at least the ability to look back and consider all this an experience learned from), and an ever growing love like you wouldn't believe for my little family. I love how faith, hope and love are interconnected and all play a critical role in life… great verse- 1 Corinthians 13:13 “and these three remain: faith, hope and love”.

i still like believe it and you'll achieve it.. cuz really that is still somewhat biblical.. We have to have faith first then we will see God's work. We have to trust that God is a good God and he knows just what he is doing being thankful in everything - as hard as that may be.
I totally am wishing i could be sitting down with you right now with a cup of coffee.. no really!
ahhh thanks Christine! we need to make a plan for a real life cup of coffee ;)
And the greatest of these is LOVE!!! The Gandhi quote is my favorite for a reason. Remind your self every day and while the world might not be a better place, you'll view it to be.
