I often don't like to post a blog unless I have solutions to the questions I ask. But more and more I am beginning to realize that it's not always the answers that provide more direction, rather the questions themselves illuminate the pathway. It's not the destination that's important, but the journey.
Statistics have shown that many people change careers between seven and fifteen times in a lifetime. Men and women usually have numerous relationships throughout life. There are many phases to a life because our desires, needs, likes, circumstances, knowledge change as time moves. Change is constant and inevitable. The challenge comes when trying to navigate the changes inside and around us.
Sometimes life's changes don't create the life we dreamed of or desired. So what do we do then? Of course some will say that we can have whatever life we desire, we just have to create it. But it takes nine months to create a baby, so creating a desired life or lifestyle will take time too. So how do we maneuver during this time in a way that is productive. What if we aren't quite sure what we want to create?
Uncertainty is a prickly fact of life. To be honest, the unknown has always been an enemy of mine. Perhaps this is the reason why I put so much energy into strengthening my faith. I know my Father The Mighty King is guiding me through a path that He feels is best for me. I can trace the route that lead me to where I am at this moment back many years. But not seeing what's around the bend is nerve wracking...sometimes terrifying! No, I never imagined the life I am currently living, and there are certain aspects of it that I would change.
I am not implying that I don't like the way my life has turned out. I am trying to figure out how to live a life I didn't expect with the greatest joy, love, acceptance, and productivity that I can muster. Rolling with change takes work. Knowing yourself helps. What are your strengths? I am hopeful (even when I can't be positive), I am generous (though I don't have many possessions) I am a good communicator (yet sometimes at a loss for words) and I am forgiving (had to work very hard on that one).

How do these strengths help me navigate the uncertain waters of life? I am still figuring that one out. I like who I am, who I have worked hard to become, even though my life looks nothing like I dreamed it would be. I am now faced with the challenge of travelling the next leg of this journey blindfolded. I know, however, that my Guide would never lead me astray. Safe journey fellow travelers.
