My life has been my greatest example of just how complex life happens. One minute you have great momentum the next without warning an event turns your world around. In the past I have been guilty of allowing these events to become my disability. I sat in this life event and gave it the power to hijack my life. If anyone called to invite me somewhere or ask me to do something, instead of saying no, I explained my problem. Doing so didn’t make me feel better but it did make me believe that if I always have a problem I didn’t have to do anything for anyone.
My problems became avoidance, my excuses to isolate. Honestly, all my problems were not that deep. As a Christian I know that my yes should be concrete and my no should be concrete. Nope, not the case for me I would say yes then let a life event cancel plans. Do you wonder what I did once plans were canceled? Nothing, I sat around feeling sorry for myself and in some cases I inflated my problems. Looking back I wonder just how many times did I allow this to be the case? How many moments could I have been present for? While I can not change the past I learned a few years back my problems can not become an excuse. I have and will allow my yes to be yes and my no to be no. Thanks for listening.
