Life. Filled with sequences of ups and downs. Things happen and life takes a turn, but what gives you stability to do what you've been doing, to hold on to what you believe in, to keep pressing on.
I've had to ask myself that recently. Making decisions on stands I want to make with my life, boundaries I wanted to set and even strength to avoid and fight habits.
Was I doing what I wanted to, or did for a person instead of THE person. I think somewhere along the line I got it mixed and confused. I did it for someone and when that someone was removed from the picture, the questions of whether I should carry on with it emerged. I had to regain perspective on the reason i was doing it.
I have now concluded that the boundaries that I set for myself is for me and the person I'm going to spend my life with. Doesn't matter if she is in the picture now or not. My perspective has to be for something bigger than just the present, I don't wait til she has come before setting the boundaries, I do it now. I start preparing now.
I will live above reproach.
The strength that this person brought through testimony that has helped me with my struggles so far is from God, not the person. Everything is from Him no matter how it comes. I need to and will continue to look to Him coz He is my everything.
