Self Portrait

Staring at myself in the mirror, melancholy etched on my face.......I struggle to figure out who I am  really and what is my purpose. I have been thrown off the horse of life way to many times to count. Trying hard not to let my past hold my future prisoner, I admit I am scared to get out there and try again because I am afraid to fail. But this rut that I am in just isn't me. I refuse to be apart of the status quo. Dad always said, if you can look up then you can get up.....I appreciate this knowledge because that it what drives me to succeed each and every day. The Good Book says I am created for greatness, so who am I to argue with the Most High? One day at a time..one foot in front of another, here I come once again!! Do I know my next move? No.....but I serve the one who does. All I know is that I am HIS property and he only wants the best for his children. And that, in a nutshell, is good enough for me. Here I come world......here I come!! To be continued......
