CHANGE: Starting Over... Again?! :/

Life is full of ups and downs, round-bouts, and ins and outs. There is the saying that goes (and I'm paraphrasing), "the one thing that is constant in life is change." Yup! How seemingly contradictory is that, yet true? Change is indeed the only thing, APART FROM GOD's UNDYING LOVE FOR US, we can be certain of in this life. One minute we're happy and the next, it feels as though someone has ripped the rug from under our feet. The funny (not "haha" funny) thing about change is that it happens so quickly that we can sometimes miss it if we're not too careful. From my own experience, I have encountered "rapid" change (both good and bad) on so many occasions that it often feels like I'm on a roller-coaster. One moment, I'm basking in the congratulatory praises from loved ones and the next moment I'm trying to console myself, while attempting to explain why that "change" didn't last - often blaming myself or my circumstance. Basically, I find myself thinking, "I'm back to Square-one... Again!?" :( But is it really?

A wise man once told me that sometimes life's experiences (specifically disappointments and/or "setbacks") are like a slingshot - you have to draw back (retract) in order to be propelled farther into the distance (YOUR DESTINY/PURPOSE)!!! This is soooo true! I guess that's what is means by "every disappointment is a blessing." So with that said, I simply want to encourage all of you who can relate to this to hang in there a while longer. Just because your situation seems like a step backwards, a demotion, or a "start-over", it doesn't mean that your life is over or that all hope is lost. It simply means that you now get a second (or third or fourth or fifth, and so on) chance to do some inventory of the people and things in your life, determine what's essential to your purpose, and then move forward with greater momentum and better direction and insight than ever before.

So... CARPE DIEM!!!!!! What are you waiting for???? Ready, set, GO!!!!!

“Simply Being Me”

Hello fellow blog enthusiasts!

This is yours truly, Sylvie Chantal Humphreys. I am just stopping by to show you some love and share some inspiration with you. The only way to be truly happy and fulfilled is to learn to first love God and then yourself by discovering how God sees you and learning how to see yourself as He sees you! “How do I do that?” you may ask. First you need to seek God daily through His Word (the Bible) and prayer. By doing so, He will begin to open your eyes and heart to the endless possibilities of a life through Him and directed by Him. His opinion is the ONLY one that matters in this world!

Peace, Love, & Blessings…
