Motivational Monday

Ok, bear with me please. Sorry for my absence but I am writing you from my iphone. My power cord is out for my computer & I'm not sure how much longer my 6 year old laptop will make it. This and life is what's been getting between me & my blog. :( I miss y'all dearly, but I was determined to share something with y'all regardless.

I have a Women's Friendship Devotional & I read tomorrows entry early (you know you skip ahead too)! July 10th is entitled "When the Dream is Broken." the entire entry is too long to type via iphone but I'll share the key points.

Have you ever wondered "what if...?" what if my life were different or if it was the life I wanted for myself? I sometimes catch myself wondering what if I had accepted that 20,000 dollar scholarship to Mobile...what if I didn't get pregnant at 19...what if i wasnt raped(sorry to throw that at ya, but its the truth)... what If I was living out my dream as a singer...? Well, the end of this entry told me how to handle it.

Lord, I keep asking you for the life i want. Now I'm asking you to help me live the life I have. Help me to see you even through the tears. Help me to live this life in your power.

I guess the sooner I quit wasting time with the "what if's..." the sooner I can live the life I have. Life is a blessing. It disappears in a vapor...don't waste it.

Love,
Audrey
