I been thinking a lot lately about the people that God has placed in my life. I was say that God has placed each one of them in my life for a specific reason. I know that the God that I serve is strategic when doing any and everything. God has strategically placed 5 people in my life. I will list them all by name because its my blog(haha).
I will name Olivia first because she is my best friend. I owe a lot of who I am to her. As do I owe the same thing to everyone else I will mention but Olivia is special because she is my wife, mother of my children, and my spiritual partner. There are so many things that I could have added to the list of why she is special But those are the most important. She has taught me some very important things in my life. The most important thing that she has taught me is to believe in myself. I will forever be grateful for her in this regard. I love you!!!
When I name the next set of people it is not in any particular order.
Marcia has been placed in my life to teach me that because you have had a hurtful past you can make it. She has taught me how to push through life's circumstances. She is very special to me. We share so much in common. We have been a shoulder to each other for years. I heard someone say if you can see someone at your mother's funeral you really love them. Cia, I can truly say I can see you. Thanks
Maurice! (I have no idea why I put that exclamation point there but I wanted it there....lol) You have taught me to be a friend to people. You have taught me that no matter what you go through you can be forgiven and restored. You have taught me to stand. You have mainly taught me how to trust God in every area of my life.
Marva you have been in my life the least amount of time. You have taught me one of the most important things in life. You have taught my to stay focused. You have showed me to get the where I need I will need to be determined and to have tough skin. People may never understand you or I but God understands us both. That is the encouragement that I need and have everyday of my life.
Arteya you have taught my be consistent. You have taught me to believe in purpose. You have believed in me. That is so amazing. I never truly felt accepted in life until you and your family took me in as your own. The message you gave to me to help other when they need it. I am truly thanks for that. You have also taught me to when people mess up to forgive them(I am still working on this one).
I am so blessed to have each and everyone of you in my life. You all have help to usher me into my destiny. I am going be great in God. I am only because of you. I am thankful for that. I sat down and thought about each one of you this morning. I want to tell each of you that I love you. No matter what happens in you temporal lives. Ya'll have help my to begin to fulfil purpose. Our friendships could end tomorrow but the things you have given me will last a lifetime. No matter where life takes me you all will be there with me in my hearts!!! LOVE YA!!!!
Friendships may not last but Purpose does!!!

ReplyDeleteAlso, this was so difficult for me to read - not because it touched my heart and almost brought me to tears, but because the grammar is horrific. LOL. Love you man!
Teya you said it right...."grammer" Jayte!!
ReplyDeleteBut this was also a wonderful read because you gave your loved ones roses while they were alive. SO many other need to do this!
