So much to be thankful for. Life. My family. Yesterday’s 5K. I went through a dark time due to a concussion that took me a couple years to even feel close to recovering from. I had 6 months off to reflect and pray that our Lord would return me to who I once was. I just wanted my life back. Reality was, deep down as the depression sank in, I didn’t want to return to who I was or return to anything I did. Just wanted to sleep and stay hidden away. Life is kind of safe that way.
Yesterday, another revelation occurred. I could see it better than ever. The guy upstairs never intended me to do things on my own or return to who I once was. In fact, I only had to show up in some situations and he would provide me with a better view of life. He did the work. He prepared the path, provided the talent and the people. I was so humbled.
So many people have come into my life over the last few years or even the last few months. Many more have always been there and have stepped up and are working to create a better community. I am so glad that my therapist pushed me to come back in 2016. I have always felt I do my best work when challenged.
I have always believed that we each have a role to play. I sometimes don’t like my role as I am naturally shy and would rather watch from the balcony. But I showed up and great things happened. Not because of me. But because of Him. Yes. All Glory and Honor is yours my Father in Heaven.
