Please forgive me. I know it's been a week since I last posted and for that I apologize. I have been very very busy, but I'm bacccccckk ( in my most annoying voice) lol.
Let me take this time to say thank you to Sherri Shepard for following and tweeting my blog. For those of you who don't know who Sherri is, you can find her every morning on "The View" as a co-host. Sherri, your support is greatly appreciated. To all my followers and readers in China, Africa, and across the globe thank you for taking the time to read and follow the blog. It truly means a lot to me!!
Now, let's get down to business. I will try to keep this short and not too long ( insert side wink). I've gone over it a million times and back whether I'm making the right decisions or if my expectations are too high. I've decided that I'm right on course and in fact have been selling my self short a little. I have heard a lot of people say that I'm too positive. Really?? Is there such a thing? I mean don't get me wrong, I'm very realistic but I know who I am and I know what I've been promised in this world. Now, with that being said no being has blocked any blessings from me but ME. I've stood in the way of a lot of promises and now that I'm slowly sliding out of the way, I'm seeing very clearly now that the goals that I had set for my life back in High School nearly 15 years ago are now being recognized.
Surprise Surprise, I'm finally at place that I was at years ago when I was too young not to dream. I think the older we become the less we are willing to dream and believe in the impossibilities of life. I had a really good friend of mines who with his permission has allowed me to share a brief conversation He and I had recently. As you all know I've started living outside the box again, taking risks, and breaking down the barriers of obesity within myself. I never knew that this would motivate so many people who don't have issues with weight. In a conversation with my friend, he was congratulating me on taking the first steps to improve my life and live out my dreams. He also informed me that by reading my blogs and book that he too started to go back and realize some of his life long dreams. He currently works as a Engineer for a major corporation and he makes a substantial amount of money. One of his dreams has been to be an Actor. With a little encouragement he finally took my advice and auditioned for several roles. Four weeks later with frustration starting to set in, he has landed his first walk on role on television (insert tears). I can not be happier for him!!
I told you all this story, because I too want to encourage you to dream again, step out on faith, and believe in the impossible. We had some major storms here recently but right after one in particular the sun started to peek out just a tiny bit and there it was. The Rainbow, so clear and beautiful and I felt that God had opened up the Heaven's just so I could experience and enjoy it. Sure I've seen Rainbows before but, there was something special about this one. Those of you who read the bible know the story of Noah's Ark, well God's promise to man not to ever destroy the world with rain again was sealed with a Rainbow.
So whenever I see a Rainbow it symbolizes God's promises to me. It heightened my awareness that after every storm no matter how many years you have to endure and go through it there is always a Rainbow or light at the end of the storm. I'm grateful for my Rainbow, but if I had not been outside to see it I would have missed it. You may not have gotten that. Let me break it down. See, we have many blessings that are right in front of us but we have to put ourselves in the position to receive them. Sometimes it's as simple as walking outside and looking up! I'm a dreamer and that's just me, simple and plain. What you do with your life is all in your hands. Step out and look up!!
