Life's Journey, Woman to Woman

I was just thinking! Life is funny! Sometimes we forget how awesome it is to have real life experiences!

As humans with guarded hearts, we want to go through LIFE, never experiencing "it", in and of it self! Life has ups & downs, joys & pains, good & bad, and everything in between! Sometimes those things we thought we did not need, we actually did!

We needed those experiences to show us what life is truly about, without simply hearing it from someone else. Through experiences we find out who we truly are and what we really want!

People who don't experience life are always left wondering what it's like and they never know things for themelves! Not to say that you can't learn from others, don't get me wrong here now. But for instance, if school didn't have its ups and downs maybe the career you thought you had a passion for, you would of have gone into it, only to realize it wasn't the career for you!

However, because of schools ups and downs you realized your passion lied somewhere else! Another example, had you not had ups and downs with your friends, how would you know who truly loved you? How would you know who to cut loose and who to keep?

Another example, if you never experience love and its ups and downs how would you know what love feels like? How would you know what you truly want in a mate? How would you know what it feels like to have someone view you as the world?

A final example, if your finances were always on the tip top how would you know to be content having what you need and not having everything you want!

I am thankful to have experienced life! Even with minor or major downs it's still awesome! As I think back on everything, some things I would have done differently but, I would do it all over again! Life has made me who I am! It has made me awesome. Life teaches me about myself. It teaches me grace, love, joy, peace, friendship, and etc!

My past friendships and love have taught me what love is, how it feels to be loved from someone other than family. It showed me things about myself, both good and bad. It made me think of what it was I really wanted, and for the first time it taught me to love & forgive. It made me wiser and stronger and appreciative of my future mate.

My past frienships showed me who I needed in my life for friends and what to look for in a friend!!

GOD NEVER WANTS ME/YOU TO TRADE IN MY/YOUR EXPERIENCES FOR ANYTHING!! He designed my/your life for a purpose. I thank him for experience!! Especially those that made me a better person!!

So for you who may be reading this, ask yourself, do you really want to go through life having experienced nothing at all? Get out there and follow your dreams, make friends, meet goals, find love, make mistakes, gain redemption; ALL THE WHILE FOLLOW GOD!!!!!!!!!!
