I will never forget 2013. It’s a year full of joy, meaning and love. This year tested my courage and my faith.
Last March, I left the place where I worked with the most passionate people I’ve met in my whole career. It is really a pleasure working with these people. You would be ashamed not giving your best. I was heart broken, and crying on my last day. But I need to set priorities for myself, and for my family. It’s a chance I can not let go. I remember thinking – Lord, is this a blessing or a test? Lord, am I reading this correctly? And honestly, I left without knowing the answer. I hoped I picked up the lesson I needed to learn. I hope I’ve become a better person. And it may seem a no-brainer choice, but really, it was a very difficult one for me. It’s a you can be yourself, you can be happy at little successes, and celebrate the things you think you did good at. You can make mistakes, and learn lessons from it. At the end of a tiring day, you are happy the you contributed something, and that people actually appreciates. It’s a place (at least for me), that you don’t need to please people, but you just need to do your best. At the same time, it’s the place I learned to be more patient, to the things I cannot change, and understand that some things are just the way they are. To be less affected by frustrations, and to understand what really matters. I will forever be grateful to the time I spent there – for the friendship and the lessons.
I got married this year, to this man I never thought I would meet. A blessing I will be thankful for for the rest of my life. More than a partner, he is my best friend – who takes care of me when I am sick, clean the dishes for me, listens, understands, makes me laugh and makes me angry at the same time, who knows me to bits, my frustrations, my fears, who would hug me when I am sad, cook for me when I am hungry, and who knows just when to hold my hand when I needed it.
2013, thank you for the blessings and the learning. They say I am good at planning, I honestly think I am not. I think I just know when to trust, and allow faith to take over. I think we can never really plan anything, we can only prepare for the uncertainty, and what comes with it.
This year, 2014. My prayer is to be guided all the time. I hope I am making decisions according to His will. I am praying for more patience, for a stronger faith and trust and a heart ready for the purpose it is called to do.
Have a blessed 2014 everyone. 🙂
