"Sometimes in life you're given hurdles- you can choose to jump over them, learn, and grow or you can let them stop you in your tracks! Ill choose the first path!" ;-)
This was my Facebook status yesterday and the more I think about it the more I come to realize that this tiny little quote has so much to do with my life it is ridiculous how much it fits me; therefore I decided to take a moment and reflect on my life, not necessarily going into details because some of the moments are very private, yet I do want to express how I feel.
There are many times in our life Im sure we have thought to ourselves "why me", "just shoot me", or "what did I ever do to deserve this"- well the fact of the matter is that God would not give us obstacles in life that we are not able to learn, grow and continue to live thru. I have had my many of obstacles throughout my 26 years of life that I think that I have the right to throw in my two cents! Life is not about how much money you have, who your friends are, or what you have to show from it- now dont get me wrong those things are all nice to have however life starts from one thing FAMILY and without family many of us would have no one to turn to. Families are made up of many different kinds so just because there is not a husband/wife/kids, etc doesnt mean you dont have a family. Everyone in this world has a purpose and I believe my purpose is to help people thru their hard times, show them that just because you have a rough patch in your life, case in point "ME"-substance abuse in the home, mental abuse at times, physical abuse in domestic relationships, hunger, poor, etc- does not mean that the end of the world has come. I have came a long way since I was 15 years old and never in a million years did I think I would be where I am today. I love my life and everything that is in it; at times there is hardships- work, money, major life changing decisions, etc that I must face but in the end I still look to Ethan & Shauna and think to myself "Wow! What did I do to get so lucky" There have been a few changes in our lives that we are going thru right now, as well as others that I know going thru similar situations and I just started thinking- family means everything and as long as I have my family we can conquer the world!! Your life doesnt have to be perfect in order for it to work it just has to make "YOU" happy!
