My Name Is Thea, Just Plain Thea

We all have a purpose; God has a plan for us. We can choose to take it or not. As the saying goes, "Life is a journey." It's constructed of many roads, many paths. Some of them are straightforward and clear, while others may be twisting and full of obstacles that have to be maneuvered around and worked through. It's not always clear-cut, and sometimes surprises pop up; you could be on a seemingly smooth path, and then you get stalled by a roadblock.I am halfway through my life journey. I have taken many roads and paths, discovering myself and my purpose. Some have led to problems and disasters, while other roads have brought me to great triumphs and successes. Though it may have seemed that I was taking those roads by myself on my journey, I was never really alone because I had the company of God to guide me. I also had family, friends, and even strangers to pick me up when I fell into a hole.I'm still on that road, that path, but I've decided to stop for a bit and take some time to just sit and reflect, to try to figure out just who I am and what my purpose is. I hope to heal from my past so I can go on with my future and maybe help encourage others with their journeys through my experiences.I invite you to walk with me as I do a flashback of the many roads and paths I have already taken. Join me in my half-life journey.
