Lately, I’ve had such a hard time. I’ve reached the point in my life and career that attracts a certain level of negativity. Anymore, I’m criticized for my faith, my writing, my Facebook posts, my healthy lifestyle, and desire to help others. People have said some really hurtful things to me that made me question my purpose. This morning, a deer ran out in front of me and I hit it. It was only a minor accident, but it made me think. As I looked at the scratches on my vehicle, I wondered what God wanted me to do or hear that I continued to ignore. As I started brainstorming my life and career, God helped me to put things into perspective. Suddenly, all the negative comments no longer mattered. All that matters is that I’m still alive to do what God wants me to do, and to raise my children. Today I met a lady who doesn’t speak English, but she opened her arms and heart to me—after looking at my books. She hugged me and told me that she loved me. I had never met her before, but God blessed her to feel something from me. And that is the most amazing feeling in the world. I know this is only strengthening me for the next battle, and God is once again pushing me beyond my comfort zone. And I’m so thankful for His mercy and patience with me. Yesterday, my mom and dad gave me a beautiful sign to hang in my home, with the scripture Romans 8:28— handwritten by my mom. :)
