Kim wrote a post today that really struck me. She's going to do great things and someday we're going to be sitting in a theater watching her dreams on the big screen, i know it, but I'm discouraged for myself because I don't know what my dreams are to be, and not having dreams to chase- that's scary as Hell. I haven't quit or backed down really, I've just loss my reason for the fight I guess. All that I know for certain is that I want to make a difference. I don't know how long it will take or where I'll end up, I just know that I want to be able to change a life for someone who never thought they had a chance, who found themselves sitting down while the rest of the world passed them by.
I know that sounds cheesy and like every other person out there (I mean, who doesn't want to change the world?), but all I can do at this point is believe. Believe that I have a greater purpose. Believe that my story has reason, and Believe that I can face the world standing up and facing the obstacles set before me.
I don't have idea where I'm going in this world and part of me is terrified by that, but I'm finding out that in order to go anywhere, I have to get up and try.
As I read this, it sounds like I know what I'm doing, but the truth is, I don't have a clue haha. I'm just glad I'm not facing this journey alone. Thanks guys for helping to pull me up.

I don't know where you are going or where you have been but I know that you have made a difference to me. Your words have helped me and so many others from SGP. RIght now you might not know what you want to do but I know as soon as you figure it out the world is going to have to look out. You are an amazing person and are going to go so far. The world isn't passing you by it's just making a spot for you somewhere, someday.
ReplyDeletePlease don't ever stop being you because you are wonderful. Dream big and aim high.

I'm just a lurker from SGP...
ReplyDeleteBut no one actually knows where we're going in life, we all just think we know where we're going.
but the difference is you just need to get out there and find something to inspire you; anything.
and even if you don't change the entire world, you can always change Your world.
people change their desired destination countless times in life.
just keep trying new things and one of these days you'll find what you've been searching for.
wow...
ReplyDeletethis is gonna be a lame comment cause Kim basically stole the words out of my mouth...
But i agree with everything she says. God is totally shinning through you with your words and actions. You have made a difference in my life and I know you hve made a difference in others' lives as well. I know sometimes it does feel like everyone else is moving while you are standing still but sometimes I think thats just us comparing ourselves to others. God's timing for us is perfect. So his matter of time for us is perfect as well. Maybe he is allowing you to slow down so that he can tech you something. God has this amazing story already written out.
Like you already said, you are not in this journey alone. We are all here to support you and He is holding your hand as well.
Sometimes God narrows our vision so we can focus on whats right in front of us. Sometimes that can get frustrating when it seems like everyone else already is moving forward, but just keep trusting like I know you have been doing.
my ECS is going to change lives. She already has and I know that God is going to use your to do remarkable things in this world.
Don't for one second believe that you aren't.

Oh Becca,
ReplyDeleteYou make a difference already. Differences are not always big...sometimes they are small. Just brightening someones day, with a poem and pictures or making someone think deeper about something.
I can relate to this particular blog. I am not the person I was a few years ago...fresh out of college, wanting to get a teaching job, and work the small magic of being an elementary teacher. I was confident, and optimistic. Now I'm not like that anymore...and I read these blogs - like Kim's and Raq's and I...I'm awed at how brave they can be...
As we grow up we learn more about ourselves, and the journey is scary...but my favorite part of this blog of yours, was the part where you said "I'm just glad I'm not facing this journey alone. " That reminded me, that I'm not alone on my journey either... Thanks Becca. :)
Kim, Raq, weird, and shiningstar said it perfectly!
ReplyDeleteLife works in mysterious ways. You feel as though you are at a stand still, and life is zooming by. But your along with it, maybe just not realising it. Everyone's story has reason, you just may not know it. And once you do find out what your life is doing and how you can and are changing the world, its going to be amazing. You are already an awesome person, so there is no doubt that whatever it is, it will be great! You already have changed lives, Im sure. I know you, and everyone at sgp have changed mine, days go by easier, and a lot brighter! :)
