Unapologetic

The biggest lesson of 2015 so far has been in emotional maturity. It has impacted every area of my life. My relationships with my partner, family and friends, and even at work. But not in the way that I expected. Don't get me wrong, I still react to situations quickly, but I see that I am able to think about things clearly and rationally much quicker than I used to.

I have a lot to be thankful for; my wedding is less than 6 months away, I am over the moon, head over heels, cry when I think about it, in love! My decision to abruptly change careers has paid off! I roll out of bed tired, but eager to get stuck in at the office. I have found a church that I can truly call home with an awesome community that love and pray for my well being. As I said, I have a lot to be thankful for.

I'm getting married! Eek!

You see the odd thing that tends to happen when life heads down a smooth path for you, it tends to head down a bumpy path for someone else, just the way life is. We notice it more with our nearest and dearest because we are privy to their ups and downs. Be sensitive, but do not be sorry for what God has blessed you with. It's OK to be happy, it's even OK to celebrate that happiness! If your happiness affects your personal relationships, I've found what works for me is to love from a distance. Pray for them, honestly and earnestly, be there for them when they ask, but do not negate, minimise or feel ashamed for where you are in your life.

God has blessed you now at the appointed time, and He will surely bring them through and bless them at their appointed time. Be unapologetic for your happiness, instead thank God for it and smile!
