Unfinished
Dear friends,
Wow! Has this been a crazy semester! I keep getting this word in my heart that will not stop. Unfinished. Mandisa has a song that states how we are not finished. Hurricane Michael devastated a lot of people. My town was hit pretty hard but not as much as it hit other places. As I sit and watch everything unfold I can't help but to see that we are all unfinished. Needless to say it has been a crazy semester and a fast one at that! It seems as though I blink and now the semester is almost over! I found as I watch that many of us our on a journey of growth. The decisions we make, the things we say to other people matter at the moment but whatever choice you make it is going to help you grow as a person. We can't change the past but we can learn and grow from it.
My roommate asked me a question about a particular topic last night that really made me think. If I could go back and change this particular thing and not do it. Would I? We were actually talking about a particular topic but this perspective can be taken any way. If I could go back and change the past would I? It took me a couple of minutes to think on this but no, I would not go back and change anything because no matter how much hurt and pain I went through there were also good times, laughter and cherished moments I will never forget. There is love. If we focus on the negative we may never move forward and while there was a lot of pain in the past and things that I have done or said that I may regret. I don't regret anymore because they made me grow as a person. They made me into a better person. The mistakes I made pushed me to do better. While I may not be able to fix every broken thing in my life or others. I can grow. I can overcome. I am Unfinished. I am a work in progress.
Never forget your worth. You are Unfinished. Your story is not over but just beginning. Don't look back but keep moving forward and don't let anyone or anything step in the way. My hometown started this saying that they are unbroken. We will rise. As a town, as a community and if you are feeling down you will rise as a person. This is not the end but everyday you wake up is a brand new beginning. Remember that as you wake up, get dressed and go out the door. The things you say or do may impact other people in a positive or negative way. How will you choose to impact others today?
You are unfinished.
