reasons why i love 2013 p.1

This year was a year of new beginnings and new places and faces and usually those mean good things. And in my case, I definitely believe in the greater good. The glass, after all, is half full, and optimism is the key to open doors for opportunities. But this POSITIVITY wasn't always my mindset.

Memories sting and the past can be a very deceiving thing. I don't know how or why, but memories creep up on my spine and remind me that things can never be the same anymore, which distracts me from allowing myself to engrave my potential wherever I am. And then because of that crippled mindset and inability to do what I am called to do by God, I miss out on good things and on opportunities that can literally change my life.

This year, God taught me how to take those opportunities by giving me these challenges that taught me the importance of mindset and of learning to humble myself. God taught me the importance of keeping my feet on the ground and learning to love where I am and where He wants me to be.
Jim Elliot once said, "Wherever you are, be all there."
This year, I learned to be wherever He wants me to be.
So here I am, God. All 100% of me, always.
