This is your story, this is your path, this is your journey...

Today these wise words were said to me by a beautiful friend.

I have spent so long fighting, hoping and praying for a dream of a family and the dreams I had for my old life.

But today with the help of a friend I realized that, that was my old life. And I have a new one. One that is filled with soooooo many blessings. They are there and I can see them.

But I need to stop punishing myself for the dream that did not come to be.

It was one that I wanted so desperately and clung to for so very long. I made mistakes. yes. But there came a point when I acknowledged them and did my absolute best to change and move forward. I know that and I know that the Lord knows that. So today to let my heart continue to heal I will acknowledge my past, my mistakes and my unrealized dreams.

I will let those things be the past and hold fast to the journey that the Lord is directing me on now. One that is full of blessings and realizations of other dreams. I will have those dreams from my old life fufilled one day, just in a different way then I had planned.

And it's funny, that I just realised this is not my plan, it is the Lords and up until now I have fought the direction he was guiding my life, but today I will accept and move with that guidance because I know he knows me best. He knows my heart and will guide me to to great happiness.

And He has and is.

and I am grateful for those things which have made me become a better person. I know more about myself now than ever before. And I have a better understanding of my relationship with my Father in Heaven.

So today dear friends I want to share with you the realization of one of my dreams....one that I feel I have worked hard for, one that I did not do alone.....one that I am surely grateful for.


And this dream is a Home....not a house a Home.


So here it is my friends....I hope you enjoy and can celebrate a little bit in your heart for a dream that you helped encourage and inspire. I am grateful for you, and to you.


You are wonderful.










All my love and gratitude,


Kara
