He gave me a belief in big dreams.
He gave me an inquisitive nature and the desire to look inside myself and those who surround me.
He filled me with the need to know why people think the way they do, including myself.
He gave me these traits to prepare me for immense personal change.
He put trials and changes of life before me to change me and mold me for His plan for my life.
He made me a mother so I would know the meaning of sacrifice, fortitude, and persistence.
He gave me a boy who pushes boundaries and forces me to improve myself in order to teach him to be a good human.
He gave me the experience of a long and rough pregnancy, full of health issues and fears about my own mortality to teach me that perseverance and leaning on Him are the only ways you get through. But the end result is so worth it.
It was needful for me to go through the fire, through those pressures to help me BECOME.
To become the person deserving of the blessings He is putting into my life.
To become the person who can understand the importance of these blessings, and handle the immense responsibilities that come along with them.
To become someone who can forge the way for my family, on the way to our huge dreams.
To become someone who can help others do the same.
I am proud of the person He is helping me become. I am so grateful for the immense blessings He is putting into my life.
We are all becoming something, whether you're becoming someone better on purpose, or letting life decide for you. In the end, you can look back on your life with pride for who you worked to become, or with regret at all you could've become but never did.
Which will it be for you?
Will you recognize God's hand in your life and His plan for you, and take action?
Or will you do nothing and let life pass you by?
Decide today! Look inside yourself, because that is where change begins.
XO, The Cowboy's Wife
