Hopefulness of the world

Sometimes life gets intense and I feel like I want to rip my hair out but then God shows me a glimpse of hope for the world. He is present and definitely there on a daily basis. It used to hurt a lot to talk about life and to talk about all the hurt, I recently realized that it gets easier to talk about the pain and life struggles. I realized that sometimes talking about things can allow others to know that eventually everything will be okay and in the process when it’s not they will have you to lean on. Today at work, yes I know I’m just a barista but hey Iv learned a lot of life lessons through this job! Anyways, today a women came through my line and gave me a card and in that card it said,
“Dear Kayla,
A lil something to say, I appreciate the great service you give. Your story really touched me, you probably don’t even realize. You are an inspiration no matter what happens in life, never give up on your dreams. Your going to make a great teacher. Keep smiling.
Thanks,
WCM- Nicole”
This touched me more then anything and although I’m not where I would hope to be at 20 I am happy and I know that I am exactly where I belong. My challenge to you? Take the time truly get to know people, talk about the hard stuff, work through your struggles because one day you will get the opportunity to take a step back and say, “Wow God seriously provided for me, he helped me grow and through that allowed me to help others grow.” I’m not where I want to be but I know I’m headed in the right direction, I am thankful for the opportunity to help others grow and I will always pursue my dreams because I know there’s a God that when I do, he looks down and smiles. Iv walked a long path but I’m growing each day into the women that God wants me to be! I am thankful for the moments that he shows I’m clearly right where he wants me.
