Omg....I can't believe that I'm finally writing my very own blog. I have been procrastinating for a such a long time. I named the blog Flying on Butterfly Wings because this is truly a transformation period in my life and in the end, I hope to be totally FREE! Free from what? Free from debt, past hurts, fears, unhealthy lifestyles (weight/eating poorly) and unhappiness. I want to be happy in every area of my life. I want to commit to working on every area and being the best person that I can possibly be. I have so much on my mind and almost don't know where to start but I will just let my fingers go and do the typing. This will be my outlet and I pray somebody else will find inspiration or encouragement from this blog as well. I will be including helpful links and books that I think are encouraging/uplifting to the soul, body, and mind. I'm excited because I can be real and just express how I feel. I will use this blog to record my weight loss progress and other areas of progression.
OAN: I am learning to love people regardless of their personalities/faults/differences. Boy boy boy! True love is a beautiful thing. I often compare how I love to the Bible's definition of love. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 says Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. That definition of love is powerful! Someone once told me to replace my name with the word love to see if I am truly living out the definition....You know I failed right!? It's okay because everyday is a new day and I can strive to do better than I did the day before. I have gotten a little better but I still need work. Loving someone despite their faults or what you deem as faults can be very difficult. It takes alot of growth in a person to be able to totally love someone for who they are. I've always thought I was living out the definition of love but lately I've come to the realization that I need to work on some areas.
Remember that yesterday is gone so everyday is a new day...a new start. It is up to you to chose how you will allow your day to be!
Be encouraged Kings and Queens!
Smooches,
Your Little Butterfly
P.S. I know I said I was a caterpillar in my description of my blog. I believe in speaking things into existence so one day I will be a butterfly hence my signature! Hey now!
