This morning it occurred to me how different I have become over the past couple of years. Although, I may look the same I can guarantee that most of my friends will say they just don’t know me, anymore. I have grown so much. I have no regrets in the way I have lived my life. I have forgiven myself for all of my minor indiscretions. However, these days I would rather read, blog and spend time with my family rather than go out drink and act like a fool.
Over the weekend I received a message from a friend I haven’t seen or heard from in a long time. She asked me to come drink with her. She obviously is unaware that I no longer drink, I thought to myself. So, I sent her a message telling her so. She promptly sent back a message “for real, OMG”. So I sent her a message back explaining that although I no longer drink I still enjoy going out dancing now and again, but got no response. It became apparent right away that maybe I need new friends.
I understand that some of the people I used to be close to might think that I have gone off the deep end. I have become a Spiritual being that trust completely in God. I trust that he would never lead me astray, therefore, I fully allow Him to lead. Whether or not I understand how or why, I still go with it. I know longer struggle to get my own way. I guess I have come to realize that my way is not usually the best way. I believe and understand that God will get me there quicker and easier without my assistance.
I have a purpose to fulfill, and I feel pure comfort knowing that as long as I do my best every day and treat people with the utmost kindness and respect, and I am truly authentic at all times God will guide me through my path with ease.
Stuff My Brain Thinks 
Strange isn’t it, those who fall away when our path takes a different direction.
It is, but the strangest thing is how OK I am with it. There was a time when that would have hurt my feelings. Now, I feel like it is a necessary step in getting where I need to be. People come into our lives to teach us something. When the lesson has been fulfilled they are no longer necessary.
‘It is, but the strangest thing is how OK I am with it.”
Love that feeling 🙂 I am going through something similar and I am always surprised by how easily I can take it when people off the radar because I no longer fit into their way of things or they don’t fit into my way of living. LOL. Great post!!!
Thanks. I truly believe that we are all lessons for each other. Once the lesson is fulfilled the need is No longer there so we move on.
It is pretty wonderful, isn’t it? Hope you are having a blessed day. 🙂
No matter what happens, the core of me is always blessed! Thank you for stopping by and commenting 🙂
