To Live is to Learn


Pamela DeVrou Smith - Red Fox

I’ve lived…and through that, I have had some great experiences and some real disappointments.  I’ve crashed and burned too many times.  I have scars on the inside to prove it and sometimes they make me cry.  Weep really.

I have tried in my life…and I have failed.

At times, others have given up on me as lost…it’s over!  Left flat on my back.

Done for…

But it wasn’t true!  The lights were and still are on!  The pulse is still racing.  My heart is still pounding and there’s breath still in my lungs.

You know what?

Let the odds be against me!

Say that I can’t or won’t or shouldn’t!

  • I’m too old
  • I’m a girl
  • I’m too broke
  • I’m not enough
  • I’m too pretty
  • I’m not pretty enough
  • I’m too heavy
  • I’m too thin
  • I don’t come from the right family
  • I’m not educated right
  • I’m not an expert

I don’t care!

I’m not stopping!  I have a dream and I know, that I know, that I know I can!

AND I WILL!!

I will achieve all that God has planned for me!  I’m ready…His timing & His plan, but I’m ready for the green light!  I will continue to walk through the open doors He has for me  and go for my dreams giving Him praise all the way!

Don’t let others dictate what dreams you are allowed.  Who are they to say that it’s not possible?  If God has placed on your heart desires and dreams , than honor and trust Him and you go for it!!
