Personal Best

Several years ago I'd developed a seminar called, Changepoints.  My material was partly based on a book I'd read and partly based on my own life experiencesThe seminar is on how to deal with the unexpected, unplanned and inevetible crises of life that land in our path from time to time.  Things were going fairly well in my own life ... that is until last fall when the fellow I was seeing blurted he'd met someone.  Just like that; I was out, she was in.  No mind that he wasn't the least right for me...pieces of my heart still litered the floor.  However, God has designed our bodies with amazing restorative abilities and when we seek Him in our times of weakness, He makes us strong.  By January and after a trip home, rejuvenation and recovery had taken root and once again I was embracing each new day with enthusiasm and expectation.  And then my very own personal change point emerged and we were all face to face.  Gulp!  For a split second I wished could glance at my seminar notes...let's see now, what did I teach in my class?  A change point can either break us or become a time of self-discovery and a personal best.  And so it was for me that day.  I whispered to myself, I can do this and stepped out in poised confidence congratulating them on their upcoming wedding.  I don't know the state of their hearts but mine was at perfect peace .......I'd experienced my very own personal best ... and was free.  It was time to celebrate. 

Until next time...Top Blonde Taking the Day!
