I'm sure this time I've got it right...I'm sure. With the beginning of the new year, we all tend to make promises to ourselves that we generally don't keep. I know I've done it...heck, I've even probably blogged about it before.
But, this time I'm sure. I have a plan of how to handle myself. I know what I like, what I don't like...and now, I know that it's okay. I know what music I enjoy, what people make me laugh, which person makes me wish I were in a different room...but, at the same time, joyful to be living life with the person regardless of their quirks, or mine.
I know what I have to change and that the new year doesn't usher that in simply because it's different. I know that though it's hard to just walk away from some things, that it's better in the end. I know that just because a prayer isn't answered the way I want it, doesn't mean it isn't simply a different answer.
Sometimes I get nervous when I see an open door...a glimpse of greatness. I realized recently that sometimes that open door isn't even the route you prayed for, so why get the good ol' panties in a wad? I'm sure now...
Sometimes I think I know what I want in certain areas of my life...but when I go back to "review" the accomplishments, I go down a different path. I know who I have to answer to at the end though. I'm sure now...
I know that materialism is something I struggle against. I know that overconsumption is more than an issue; it's pretty much a disease. But, it can be cured. And, again not just because it's a new year, but because the question has to be posed to one's self. Why? I'm sure now...
I know that just because my mother irritates me, that she's still my mama. She did more than give birth to me. She's an angel...a different one, but one just the same that hasn't yet discovered her wings. "Last night I saw you in my dreams. Now, I can't wait to go to sleep. Last night I saw you in my dreams. Now, I can't wait to go to sleep." I see these people in my life who've yet to discover their nobleness. I pray it's unveiled while I can still enjoy it. I'm sure now...
Proactiveness is good...mmm kay? I need more of it starting now. I know what to do, how to do it, who can help me get there, and who can deter me. I'm sure now...
I know who I am. Child of God.
