My Soul is Calling

I think I have done it. Through all the problems, the challenges and tears, the angst and upset, I think I have reached a level of enlightenment which has allowed my soul to communicate important messages with the rest of me...

I have made a lot of "mistakes" in my short life (36 is not that long yet!), and I started early, with a teenage pregnancy, a marriage to someone who was not on the same "page" as I was. However, amidst those "mistakes", I managed to finish highschool, get my university degree, go back to school and get my teaching degree, all the while raising 3 great kids, most of the time as. a single parent.

Over the course of these developments, some really great things happened as well. I found my birth father and mother, and a sister, I made some great friends, I found myself, my strength, my voice, and I found love.

That's why I have no regrets. I am happy, I have a good job which I enjoy, I have friends who support me, and make me feel so loved! I have my kids, who can't imagine being away from me for too long, and I have someone who loves me with all his being. God has opened my eyes to other ways of thinking, other ways of worshipping him, new faces, new languages, new families, and allowed me the opportunity to see parts of His beautiful world that I never thought I would. He has given me the courage to continue to love, even though my heart has been broken before. He is always by my side, hearing everything I need.

My soul is calling, and I can't ignore it. Hang on, I'm coming!
