I'll let you in on a little secret, here's where my mind goes:
Many times as I let my mind wander it often wanders to the people in my life. I think about them and their situations and circumstances. I think about their struggles and troubles and worries. And then I find myself imagining them telling their story of the day that all went away. The day that they found freedom and their life changed. The day that money wasn't a worry, or their difficult child began to obey. The time where their marriage was repaired, or their depression was lifted. The time when they slept through the night and woke up rested and not afraid to face the day.
As I hear these stories in my mind, told by the people I care the most about, my heart burns and stomach leaps.
This is dreaming, this is hoping, this is love....
Many of you wonder why I have a passion for AdvoCare, and this is why. I believe that God has given me a vehicle that will allow my family and others to dream again. To make the thoughts of my late night daydreams come true. To help people find whatever they need to face another day. Whether it be a boost of energy to make it through that moment when they want to sit down and quit because they feel as if they take one more step they will not make it. Whether it is those few extra dollars that will pay that bill and take a little stress off their shoulders so they can lay their head on their pillow for one night and just sleep, without stress, without worry, just sleep. Whether it is a quest for significance. The feeling of helping someone else accomplish their goals give you a great feeling of accomplishment and significance. Whether it is to lose 1 or 100 lbs. Whether it is to hear a message of a savior that doesn't care who you are, where you are, what you've done, or where your life is at, you are free. You have been saved and washed clean, and watching the freedom that brings. Whether it is a shoulder to cry on, or a boost of confidence. No matter what, everyone is looking for something and I love that I have found the confidence in myself to help them try to find it.
When I dream about my family I dream of the day we are all together every day (yes I do understand the kids have to go to school someday) I dream of the day we get to say "yes" to freedom and "no" to debt. I am so excited for the day that we spend our day helping other families have what we have worked so hard for. I am really excited for the day that I get to show my children the world. Life, it's worth fighting for. Maybe some of my goals will not come true, but what is life without dreams and goals?
This journey is one of bumps and bruises. Ups and downs. Tears, laughs, failures, and accomplishments. It is a journey that I would not change for the world. As I become more of the person that I was created to be I hope to lock arms and hope that people join me.
