There are simple answers for this question, but sometimes those simple answer just don't do it for me. A simply answer looks something like, Husband, Father, Friend... Not that i take any of those things lightly, these are all core values in my life. I strive to be the best husband, father and friend I can be everyday. But I still feel like I am not fulfilled.
There is a line to a song that I will probably will get wrong (thanks US Air - 5hr NS flight and no wifi) by FireFlight:
"I'm moving forward, I'm standing on my two feet - these second chances...will define me"
These line always come to mind when I am faced with this question of what defines me. My second chances can define me. I just have to be open to letting that happen.
How many second chances do we pass up when we can really cash in on the lesson by turning to God for the answer instead of the what "we" think? what the world says? I know I do miss these opportunities. Sometime daily!
I am putting this out there now because of the challenges that I am facing in my life right now and I know I am not the only. Don't let those opportunities pass you by - to do the right thing. I don't know what that looks like for you. I don't completely know what that looks like for me? But I want to know. I want to be able to capture those times and make a difference in a positive light instead of the alternative.
