The Same

The same....what does that mean? Well, in life we go through a lot of things, we learn a lot, we change a lot.  People change us, circumstances change us.  This post is about being the same. In some aspects that is.  :) I thought I would share this delightful discovery I just made. :) I recently picked up an old, very old, journal of mine.  A journal I had once lost, and it was given back to me in the most random way a few years ago which is a miracle in its self.   The first entry dated 11/13/2000. OK maybe its not THAT old...to you. :) I was just about to throw this journal away because I remembered that most of what is in this journal was about when I met Donavan. But I decided to open it up and read a few pages first, I was quite surprised at what I found.

This is what I wrote for the first entry:

The story of my life. My happy times, sad times, fat times, loving times, hurtful times.  Everything that I am, every thought that I think. Written here in the pages that follow. Written with a pen and ink that costs less than a dollar.  Who would have known that a pen would write something so valuable.  Take this book and pen that costs about $10 together, and create something so priceless. Amazing isn't it? Anything can be something if you make it that way.

 Tomorrow I will be going on my 5th day in my new apartment.  I really love it. I don't have any furniture, but I love it that way. I love the open space, the room to dance, or just to lay where ever I want.  Who knows if I will ever be able to have this much room to myself again.  It is clean.

If I could be anything in the world, I would be a princess. Because they are, to me, always young, beautiful, sweet, kind, and they live in a beautiful house and they always have a beautiful house.  And enough to share with those who need it.  Another thing is they always get to wear beautiful dresses.

I can dream can't I?

End of the journal entry.

Wow....those of you that know me well are probably smiling and laughing and maybe crying, like I did.  I am in shock really.  My true desires of my heart have not changed much at all.  And it is as if my dreams have come true.  I am a princess, daughter of the King.  King of the universe.  I live in a beautiful house with very little furniture so I can dance!! I love to help others and long still, to have plenty to help people with, but I do what I can with what I have for now. I am also blessed to have many beautiful dresses now that I can wear when ever I want. That hasn't always been so. Last but not least, I have told most people, I will never be old. I believe old is a state of mind.... :)

Basically I am so thankful to the Lord, for keeping my heart.  And although I have been through many many things, to put it mildly, yet my heart is the same. And who knew that I really was writing something that would mean SO much to me someday.  Wow!!! I will end with my new favorite quote.....

"Anything can be something if you make it that way."
