The Road Ahead

The road ahead is looking mighty interesting!

My son, Daniel, turned 21 today. I am extremely proud of the man he has become. He IS an amazing person! I cherish all my memories from infancies until today. Time has flown by!

This year promises lots of adventures, changes is attitude and growing in my faith.
Unfortunately, this past week had been horrendous. I was full of fear, doubt and worry. Ugh.



And then I wondered why am I feeling all this fear, doubt and worry. Suddenly and suprisingly a beautiful song popped in my head "Lose My Soul". I knew I did not want to gain the whole world, just to lose my soul. I decided to finally turn it over to God. I know that people say that (as I have done) but don't really do it. I actually did it and I am a better person because of it. I've decided to accept the coming changes in my work with gratitude. I am grateful to have a job that yes, is going to change, but I still love those that I work with and I enjoy my line of work.

My dream is to retire @55 and that is something I am still looking forward to. For now though, I have so much I want to do .....I want to mentor other women riders and I want to go on a mission trip with my church. But I am not at the confidence level I need to be at to full mentor and I am still early in my journey of faith that I am not yet ready for a mission trip. This will change though as I build my confidence and grow in my faith. Life is a joy! I geniunely feel extremely blessed! See, turning your worry, fear and doubt truly does change your attitude and raises your altitude.
