There's a
saying that has stuck to me and it goes, “If you stay ready then you never have
to get ready.” Yes, it resonates very deeply with the story and message that I
am about to give to you today.
I have
been going through the motions of the sudden difficulties of life. Days were
both my husband and I are struggling to make ends meet. Ramen noodles, oatmeal,
red beans and rice, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches have been on rotation
for the past few weeks in are apartment. Uplifting smiles from our baby boy
have been keeping us hopeful. It's been tough living pay check to pay check. We
have more bills than money right now, but we still smiling.
Moving forward from the past can be difficult only if you allow it to be. I have learned that having the mental and spiritual upliftment throughout the trials and tribulations in your life can help you move forward.
I will admit that I always use to be a pushover and an extreme people pleaser until just last year. People use to take my kindness for a true weakness and boss me around. I am the happy go lucky and always smiling type of woman. Wearing a smile for me can hide my sadness, frustration, and anger very well. As a matter of fact, I have mastered ways to hide my true feelings behind a smile.
Hi, my
name is Linda, and I'm a Christian introvert. I been a Christian introvert
since the age of fourteen. To be frank with you the word ‘introvertersion’ has
useful description, but a poor definition. Basically, being an introvert means
that I'm generally more energized by time alone than by time with people.
I decided
to give myself the time to mentally heal. Mentally healing myself from my past
and not shunning away my own emotions. There's a quote that goes, “You cannot
heal what you will not speak.”
We are
now officially in the month of March! Can you believe that we are three months
already into 2018? It's an exciting feeling! I am amped up to take on this
month of March.
