For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11
It is easy to look backwards when you are moving from one stage of your life to the next. Finding yourself looking back at mistakes you have made, paths you never took, and friends you never pursued can leave you filled with regret and frustration. Yet looking at the past will never get you or I anywhere fast. Today, I look forwards to the future with much anticipation. Instead of allowing myself to wallow in "could haves" and "should haves", I shall forge onwards, never forgetting those of you who have invested in my life and made me who I am today.
To all of you I mentioned and those of you I did not, I love all of you so much. Each of you have taken your time and energy to pour into me and now it is my time to give back to each of you by making the most of my life here on earth. God has given me a gift and I am ready to use it to bring Him eternal glory. I know my journey will be filled with obstacles, but thanks to all of you and to God, I will be surrounded by people who will always believe in me. Thanks so much for helping me to stand and encouraging me to believe that I can still make lemonade from lemons.
