At The Top

My heart was touched today by my little princess. She told me about a movie she watched at school. It was about a group of climbers that climbed Mt. Everest. She said one of the climbers had the same name as me.

She said it reminded her of my journey. She said "mommy you are standing at the top of the mountain now and looking over your life......you are over it......you are doing things that you wished you could do".

That touched me so deeply because I remember thinking I would never reach the top. I remember a time in my life when I didn't feel hope. I didn't think I would ever stop hurting or feeling depressed.

Although there are still days or moments that I get a little down I am still able to reach a peaceful place in my heart and rejoice in the abundant blessing I am walking in. I am still on this amazing journey and I still have many things to accomplish but I am at the top.

This means to me that I am over the past and I am pressing forward with determination. I can only see joy and blessings from this point on. I can now see God's glory in every part of my life and give Him thanks for being my constant companion.

I have learned that what I focus on most is what becomes dominant in my life. I spent too many years focused on what was wrong instead of rejoicing in the good.

I looked at the opposition instead of realizing that it was a set up for opportunity. Every adversity was a chance to press forward and grow stronger through the resistance.

My eyes have seen amazing things. My heart has loved unconditionally. My mind now has the capacity to create endless possibilities.

I have grown. I have strived and I have overcome. I am so grateful.

I AM AT THE TOP AND THE VIEW IS AMAZING!
