Today I caught a plane. I remember when I used to be so excited to get in planes and travel . I almost even took a job once that allowed me to travel, the time just wasn't right.
I had just gotten married and I was not willing to take the risk of losing my independence or identity when we were supposed to be gaining it.
So I turned it down.
I thought I had lost a really great opportunity, yet i made the sacrifice. I'll never forget that that sacrifice was so worth it. I was able to really build upon my relationship with my husband, sing in a choir with him as his partner and host several meetings at our home with people we'd forever cherish relationships with .
It was an exciting time. I was living in Texas, and really loving the environment . I was also very happy to be with my best friend and living only a few apartments away from him.
I grew so much that year . And my experiences actually taught me a lot. Moving so far away from the East coast and being away and in my own was a new venture and I was happy to explore a little. I'm not sure the job would have allowed me to do that.
So I'm grateful .
Lesson learned: Appreciate the places where your planted. Trust that the journey is about the places where you are planted and accept that even if it's not a place you chose; there purpose there, there's opportunity there, and there's something for you to do.
