Encouragement
Moments in Time
Every one of us has moments in time, those important opportunities we let slip by. May be we are embarrassed to share our feelings with others, afraid they will laugh at us or they won’t like us anymore. Truth is that moment may never come to you again.
God presents us with many moments to share who we are and who He is. Yet we miss these moments because we are so worried about what people think. Once you begin to add moment upon moment, you have, an hour, a day, a week, a month, a year, a lifetime, a life of missed moments, of unsaid words.
The illness I suffered has changed my life, set new priorities and has made me bold enough to be who I am, not what someone else thinks I should be, to share who God is in me, giving no apologies, I am who I am. I do my best to be kind and encouraging, not mean and negative.
It has been a rough road with hard choices to weed the negativity from my life and then surround myself with positive encouraging people. After being bombarded most of my life by negativity, that’s all I knew. Crazy as it sounds it was familiar ground and I was scared to step forward and leave what I knew, to leave the negativity behind, but with much love and God’s guidance I have. I can stand, smile and take hold of a situation to say things I would never have said when I was weakened with negativity. I strive to live a fearless life with God cheering me on.
When I come to the end of my life, which could be any moment for any of us, my pleasure will be to know no missed moments.

It is such a comfort and a release when we just be who we are. What others think about us is their choice; what God thinks about us is primary. Thank you for sharing this truth. GOD BLESS YOU
