Have you ever have an a-ha moment? You know, one of those moments when things become crystal clear to you? Well, a dear friend of mine had one today and it reminded me of one that I have had recently. Very similar to hers. Mrs. F, you know who you are and I want to thank you for reminding me about those moments when clarity takes over. You see, I have lived most of my life just like you…always having a way out…a plan B.

It seems to me that when you always have a way out, you never truly let yourself enjoy or accept what you have. For example, for many, many years throughout my marriage, I would always make a note of any ‘for rent’ signs I saw. Especially ‘room for rent’. I did this because I knew that my marriage would not last so I needed to have a place to go when it finally fell apart. Until I put my trust and faith into my relationship with my husband, there was never going to be one. I’ve done the same thing just recently with our business. Always staying listed with a temp agency “just in case” the business didn’t make it. But how am I supposed to show my husband that I have faith in him if I don’t support him 100%. How am I supposed to show God that I trust Him if I don’t turn over 100% of my fears, worries and struggles? The answer to both of those questions is “I can’t!” I can’t prove anything if I don’t believe it myself. This was finally clear to me just a couple of days ago. And now, my dear friend has had it become clear to her as well with the help of another trusted friend.

And so, Mrs F, this one is for you. Thank you for sharing your struggles and for sharing your highlights. You are a great person and you DO deserve everything that GOD has given you.

To anyone else struggling with issues such as these, remember, the proof is not always where it seems it should be. But we have to remember to keep looking and to keep believing. It was put much better in the video below that was shared by my friend…I hope you enjoy it as much as I did…here is…’Proof’
