Road Map to Where?

So I have certainly been busy but I have definitely been keeping my goals in mind. Have I committed myself to doing all that needs to be done? No, Rome wasn't built in a day. Do I know what needs to be done, yes, yes I do. So logically, the question is what's the hold up right? Well, creating your own destiny while allowing God to have His way is a challenging task. I remember a few months ago posing the question or trying to figure out if God was waiting on me to do something or if I were waiting on God. The answer I have concluded is both. When I start to do the things I know need to be done, I will see the results I am looking for. Now sounds like common sense right? Well...well yea it is so I need to get on it, plain and simple, no excuses.



I do recognize that I have not yet stated what my goals are specifically. I do have them but at this point have not divulged that information, it will come in future posts, yes there will be additional posts. Remember my destination is peace but where does the road map lead? Guess, I'll find out when I get there!

Where Is Home?

So in order to get where it is I'm going, I of course, must examine where I've been and how that has led me to where I am now. I am a big believer in how a person grew up shapes his or her opinion later in life, most of the time subconsciously. Someone recently posed the question, are you a product of parental privilege? and my answer to that is yes. Without going into the bores of where and how I grew up I do know that I strive to continue the lifestyle I grew up in and provide even better for my own child. While this is a good thing, it has also provided me with extra stresses and has contributed to this "mis-alignment" in my life.

You know most people return to their home or close to their family when things are tough or when there is nowhere else to go. Now for me, I can always go home I just choose not to, not really sure why, I mean I have an inkling of why I won't move closer to my family, I love them dearly so that's not it... Anyway, no matter who we are we have all been shaped by our family and upbringing and when trying to move forward I feel it is necessary to revisit home but um where exactly is that?

Is there a Destination?

So everyone, this is my 1st post on my blog! Yay!

I chose the name The Journey simply because I feel like with all the things I hope to accomplish, it will surely be a journey. My goal over the next year is to achieve harmony in all areas of my life, that is mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. At times 2 out of 3 or 3 out of 4 areas will be in sync but I have yet to experience all four areas being aligned.

I go into this journey with realistic expectations, knowing that not everything will be perfect all the time, but my destination is not perfection my destination is peace.
