Hello, let me re-introduce myself. I am Emily, and that part you already know. But now I am EMILY so hear me roar. I might be roaring because I've been busy becoming. Changing. Morphing more to the Emily I really am inside. Like whittling wood into the shape it was meant to be.
What have I been learning?
Oh all the life lessons.
Well at least the ones so far. The ones so far have taught me:
1. I am not in control
2. I can control things I thought I couldn't
3. My destiny is up to me and no one else.
4. OK fine, God is heading up my destiny, I just need to follow and execute.
Sounds like stuff I already knew. I knew it but I didn't know it until I found out.
But it's only through crossroads that we find out what we know. 2016 was a crossroads year. I've been in therapy to try and understand my specific lessons better. I've been in the ring like it's the fight of my life, like go big or go home. All in. And God is refining me like no other. So I say bring it.
I've written letters to myself and others. I've identified what my losses have been and envisioned myself healthier and most of all, unSTUCK. I've found a sacred space where I can converse with God about what matters to Him, where I can nearly always get instant feedback.
I love my newself. I appreciated my oldself for what it did for me at the time. But I am roaring right into my newself with purpose and proactivity. Watch out all, I am all kinds of quirky and I'm ready to be carved into my one of a kind art in the hands of God.
