Limitations can be limiting or they can be freeing.
Leaving room for God to move in your life....
Sometimes we don't realize how FULL of junk our room is until we start going through box, bookshelf, dresser, each layer laying out a part of our life currently, or from the past. I have a hard time letting go of things. I don't have much of anything of actual monetary value, but a lot of things I value that are taking up too much room in my room, my house, and my life. Sometimes we have to reevaluate the things we value and if they are really adding to our life or just taking up space.
As I've mentioned I battle daily with chronic conditions that limit my functioning like most people. I have found sometimes these limitations to be a blessing because it has made me HAVE to stop moving. I have to let my body catch up to my mind and this is hard work for my body, a lot of times it never makes it where I feel like I should. Something I realized is how much pressure I put on myself to be like everyone else, to go to all the moms get together, and be at every event with a smile to show the conditions that despite whatever is thrown at me I still live life! The pressure from others, feeling guilty for asking for help. I've also felt rejected from events because people don't want the "burden" of driving or picking me up, or dealing with my walker. I am who I am though and love my attachments or not I've decided to love me and that means letting go of the people who don't.
The thing I realized is that I'm not like anyone else. Limitations can be limiting or they can be freeing. If we are constantly viewing limits as a thing of what we cant accomplish in life we will miss the all true feeling of all the things we can overcome and still do even in the face of adversity. IF we are always looking at the Nos and not accepting the yes then we can become burdened down by the junk in our life and forget that the time we have is NOW and that tomorrow is another day. What I can do is plan for tomorrow, to believe in the best, prepare with what I have faith, love, hope and wisdom in knowing that the past doesn't define me but it does give me boundaries to set. Some days I will blow those boundaries and limitations out of the water while other days I may not make it anywhere near where I was hoping to. In the least of times we have to remember the days of small beginnings, the beginnings of the end, and the beginnings of new seasons. Sometimes we don't always see things as new, sometimes its the routine that gets mashed together in our head and we realize that life has taken on a new path way back there, but thats ok. View it as a new beginning to a new chapter blank pages waiting for you to fill it in...what are you going to write?
