Destination Unknown
When I was younger I said I was going to be a veterinarian because I loved animals; then after discovering another passion, I decided I would be an actress; after discovering another gift, I said okay I want to be a professional dancer (preferably as back-up for Michael Jackson); then after I learned there was such a thing- I said I’m going to be a “triple threat!” Then somehow I ended up being a broadcast journalism major in college. Needless to say after 25 years of living, life has taken me so far up and so far down, around in circles and back forward again, that I am on a totally different pathway these days… And I love it! I’m starting to volunteer for the Human Society in my city; I’m acting, dancing, and owning my company, and co-editor-in-chief for an inspirational weblog! (And the icing on the cake is it’s all is designed to give glory to God!) Who would’ve thought that alllll my talents were to be directed towards a ministry?
A lot of times we paint the picture for the life we want to lead. We set ourselves to such high standards that we get tunnel vision and lose sight of what’s for us and what’s not. While finding your way in and out of life’s tests and trials keep in mind that no one said it’s going to be easy, and what YOU may want for your life may not be what’s for you. You will rise and you will fall; you will have high moments as well as low; you may have many successes but know that with that will come failures as well (those failures may very well be “blessings in disguise”). However, it’s all to help get you where you will end up. Your steps are already ordered, the steps you take that will get you there will come as you go.
You are on a spiritual journey right now, destination unknown, but it will definitely be paradise when you get there!
Be Blessed

What twists and turns have you witnessed in your life? How has that been a blessing in disguise for you?

This is SOOO true – I always knew I would be in the healthcare field (always knew) but when I left the RN program my LAST semester it seemed like the end of my life. 5 years in school wasted to receive a Bachelors degree in Liberal Education minor in Biology…wha?!?! I had NEVER thought outside of healthcare. Little did I know I have an AMAZING talent for writing inspirational plays (as well as blogs
) and books. If I hadn’t left the nursing program I would have never pushed myself to try something outside of my comfort zone, if had I completed the program I might not have met my AWESOME husband because a co worker in my corporate job introduced me to the website. Although I have decided to complete my nursing degree for various reason I am so happy He detoured me from my path. Because just when I thought my life was ending it was just beginning – He is AWESOME! Now I follow HIS lead instead of trying to follow mine

Well, everything and I do mean everything, that I ever thought was bad for me in my life at the time (asking “Lord, why me?”), eventually I got the answer and everything worked itself out the way it was supposed to. So, I have learned to trust God (with almost everything, still a struggle sometimes) and let my life take the path that he leads.
When I lose site of that, it never fails, I come to this blog and one of the post reminds me
