I sense that I am at a very important place in my life. Two roads diverged in a yellow wood and what not. Some call it Saturn's Return, which basically means that during a persons 27th (ish) year, the planet Saturn is in the exact position it was the year you were born. I'm not into astrology or anything, but I do believe that God put the stars and planets in the sky to do more than just look pretty. Like how the moon affects the tides, which in turn affect so many other things! So I buy into the thought that this "return of Saturn" can have major effects on people...or maybe it's just that approaching 30 makes you sort out your life. Either way, I can see in my self that I am maturing and getting a wee bit wiser. Life has been one hell of a roller-coaster for a few years now. A roller coaster that I wanted off of RIGHTNOW! but God intended for me to stay on that ride for a while longer and now here I am approaching the end of the ride. I've learned so much and I know I have so much left to learn and I find it exciting.
Some of the big life lessons I am learning:
~ Be yourself; God made me to be ME. When I feel like I am being someone I am not, that's God saying "Uh, girlfriend that is NOT who you are supposed to be!" I can't spend my life trying to be who everyone else wants me to be. As long as I keep trying to mold my personal morals and ethics to the shape of God's then I am doing the best I can. You can take me or leave me baby!
~ Life is meant to be pure. I have a desire to live life more purely, not only in the way I think, talk, and entertain myself, but also in what I eat and do with my body. I'm not going to turn into some health-nut (come on now!) but I am realizing the importance of being healthy. Organic foods, herbal remedies, yoga, peace, tinctures, walks, nature...these are all the things I will be introducing into my life. This will be crazy hard because I am the laziest person ever and that lifestyle is not for lazy people! ;-)
~ Love is so much more than romance or caring for someone. True love is all consuming. I believe the purpose of life is love. Loving God, loving yourself, loving others. Every dark and evil thing in life is a result of someone somewhere losing sight of what it truly means to love purely and completely. If humanity would just learn to love and to respect things would be a lot different.
