Today is my birthday. I am 63 years old and soooo happy about my life, my assignment, and what God is doing in it; so much so, that I could just shout!!!! It took me 60 years to finally forgive myself for living a subpar life. Allowing men and women both, to use me, and for not living the life God created me to live.
Man o man, I have made a lot of mistakes, especially with men, but I am at peace and no longer ashamed or embarrassed because of those mistakes. When I think about all of that trauma, especially those soul-ties, I realize that they all contributed and pushed/forced me to look at myself. Shoot! I value me and my peace so much, that thinking about that old pain keeps me from wanting to make those same mistakes ever again.
Anyway, when I wake up in the mornings I feel wonderful and alive. There is no drama in my life. I live intentionally and with purpose.
Don’t get me wrong, I do want to get married again, but I am willing to wait for the man God sends my way, this time. One thing I know for sure is, when God has His hand in the mix, you better believe, He will not send an imposter or counterfeit, because He said I am a wife, not a girlfriend or a side chick.
In any event, if I am to remain single, I’m comfortable with that too. Being single is a beautiful thing to savor and has loads of advantages, such as, doing what you want when you want to, not having to consult with anyone about anything, etc.
In closing, I’m singing in my Stevie Wonder voice to me, “Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday”….
