Life's Too Short: Part II- Moving Forward From Offense

Dear Readers-

I am so thankful I'm not alone in the offense thing-  I've heard from a lot of you that it resonates in your heart and life right now.

So, I write a little bit sooner because you probably are wondering- now that I know, what do I do with it?  

The. struggle. is. real.

Well, I'm still figuring that out myself with the Lord, but I do know a fixed mindset has helped mend my heart.

This is what I tell myself daily...

Have Courage. Be Brave.

Keep on moving.

Now that I am free of offense, I feel more courageous and more brave to just keep on living.

Offense just sucks you dry of any gratitude you have left inside your body.

Slowly, as you walk free from it, your perspective on the mundane things completely change.  Gratitude returns a little more each day. 

For me, that's a game changer.

I love that I am growing more and more grateful  each day because I feel more and more courageous to act on what I know is right.

My circumstances haven't changed, but my heart has.

The things I care most about are realigned in my thoughts where they belong- as my priorities.

My God. My Husband. My kids. My family. My coworkers. My students.

When un expected things arise, I pray and deal with it.

When I need to write-  I do it.

When I feel combated with a decision I'm faced with, I ask myself "Am I not doing this because I'm scared?"  If the answer is yes, I do it anyways- *of course, if I feel in my heart that it's the right thing to do.

Readers, 

Pray for courage.

Believe you can be brave.

Then, do great things.

Even the littlest brave choice or decision can make big changes in your heart.

We. can. all. do. it. 

We. each. are. worthy.

Love. Always,

Crystal
