Have you ever wondered??

What is it in life that makes us who we are?? Is it who gave birth to us...or maybe who raised us...or the things that we have seen throughout our childhood and the rest of our lives?? Well here is the way I think and truly believe...

I believe that we were all given our personalities, traits and looks in a former life by God. When we crossed through that vail to come to this earth...some things changed for all of us. Some of us were given challenges that nobody else on this earth was strong enough to handle. God knew that those people were the strongest ones and that by giving them those challenges...they may feel inadequate at times throughout their lives and want to do things to change that...but no matter what they do, it never changes. If a "normal" person was given these same challenges...they would fall to pieces and they would never survive it. Those stronger people who have been given these extra challenges...whether physical or mental...are able to work through the rough times in their lives the way that nobody else could even dream of. These people are given an incredible gift that sometimes can feel like a major curse throughout their lives. Only they will ever know what it is like to live inside of their own minds...and it is up to those who surround them to take the things that happen to them or things that they may do, and learn from them. We can make or break their entire world...it is up to us to make sure that their surrounding world is nothing but awesome and uplifting...as they may never be able to do that on their own. It is us that can change someone who has these challenges from a potential that nobody ever wants to see, to something that can change this world for now and for the rest of time and possibly for eternity.

I have been blessed to have had the opportunity to know a few of these people who constantly struggle and I am honored to say that I am in love with one of them. I am in no way an angel, but I do know that I am the one who can either tear his world to shreds, or make it something that he can constantly see as his safe haven and a refuge from the storm. I am so glad that I can see the difference...there is nothing on this planet that I want more than to make him happy and make the rest of his time on this earth the very best that it can be...until he is relieved of this burden and the Lord looks him in the eyes and says, "Well done thou good and faithful servant. I love you son!"
