not because everything went according to my plan,
or because the times were easy and without challenge.
No, I count my year great because I had a year of many lessons, lessons that I never would have learnt if my days were easy.
We want to believe that the people who are in our lives
have the best intention for us, that they are believing the
best in us and when we find otherwise and realise that
the world is full of people who have their own motives and agenda's, we have some choices to make. Do we go
along for the ride in the hope that the boxes that people
insist on putting us in will grow to the shape of our own
abilities and dreams, or do we realise that our hearts have become caged and we have learned to live half a life.
I spent a good part of 2011 trying to make a decision that would be the most honorable for all involved but ended up feeling the restrictions of the cage around my heart instead.
I cried out to God to help me know what was the best decision as I really wanted to do the right thing, and thats when I heard a voice like a whisper dropped into my Spirit, " I never intended for you to be caged, You only need to know whether your wings will be clipped or whether you will be allowed to fly".
And that's when I realised that all along, it was the box that was wrong.
I love what you wrote today, how and why do people thing they know whats best for us. Open that cage door and fly as high as you can, I can't wait to see how high you can get
