Game Changers, Life Makers

Wednesday's Night Tune:

I hope to learn as time goes by
That I should trust what's deep inside
Burning bright, oh burning bright
My sensible heart 

I heard once that I don't do well with change. In fact, this weekend my mom got new bowls. She wanted to throw away the old ones. I made her keep two of them so I could "take them to college." Now that's not really a game changer, life maker but the concept is still there. It's really those things that you never see coming. That's what happened to me. Out of the blue came an unexpected curveball in life as I knew it. Funny how God has a sense of humor. I was just talking about how I'd love something like that... turns out I learned to be thankful for the place I am. let's just say I never want to have to go through something as confusing and scary as that again. Anyways, the point is that game changers are not my forte. but whether or not i like it they come. They come in everyone's life. So what do you do when they come? that brings me to what I've been doing lately:

Lately. Well, lately I've been strugglin. I've been confused. I've been a mess of every emotion rolled into one. Lately? I've been around. I've been here. I've been there. every place imaginable in the state of Tennessee. I've been to the moon and back.  

People. Well, people say a lot of things. some say this place. some say that place. some say go where you can. others say go where you want. some say it's right. some say it's wrong. some say it loud again and again. and sometimes, people say nothing at all. which is worse is for you to decide. but in the end, it doesn't matter what they say.

and that brings me to tonight:

Tonight. Well, tonight I am at peace. tonight I am settled in a decision that will make my life. the process was more than I wanted to have to handle, but I've learned something from it all. I've learned to not be afraid. and that it's okay to change your mind. and no matter what, my folks are always behind me. 

For some, this may be a vague post of life lately. but to others who have stuck by and helped me through, tonight is a celebration of a step forward. tonight I say thank you. every conversation, every prayer, every kind word led me here. It wasn't one person, but a collective YOU (and God obviously) who encouraged the yes. So to you I say thanks. to God I say hallelujah, amen. and to all those struggling with game changing, life makers i say shosholoza or keep moving forward. 

So here's to transitions, 

to game changer-life makers, 

to decisions, and to confidence in the 

shosholoza. 

Time to move forward.
