Embracing Uncertainty

Embracing who you are, where you are and where you have been.

Embracing Uncertainty
Kendra Badley

One of the greatest pieces of advice that is often not shared is to embrace uncertainty. The most beautiful chapters in our lives may not hold a title until years later because its the experience and journey of how you faced opposition. It's not about living large but to live abundantly in love and sharing that heart with as many possible. If I have learned anything in my almost 24 years, it's that I'm a living testimony and to have humility through honesty touches more lives than holding your current struggles within. What I used to think was my weakness is now my strength. My past is a testimony that I can share without hesitation or reliving the experiences. Constantly looking to grow and overcoming things as they come, brings more light to loving and understanding yourself more than you could possibly imagine. Throw a little Jesus in there and call it happiness. Let me make a point here, people appreciate your honesty if they're looking to grow because they could very well be quiet about encountering a similar circumstance or trying to go about themselves when they need to hear that there is a light to a healing process. Do not be afraid of judgement. It only means they are a shallow minded fool. Forgive and keep going. Call your struggles what they are, tell God or even a loving mentor and push through it because it isn't worth holding it in. This may very well be a chapter where you overcome something that will change your life but yet could change multiple lives for the rest of your own.

Psalms 62:5 "My soul, waits silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him."

You will always face trials on this Earth.The Bible clearly states that daily you will encounter struggles. Your faith, your patience, your attitude, etc all of who you are as God's child will be constantly tested. God says you are blessed when you persevere under trial. How do you persevere under trial? You have faith. You look forward knowing that right now isn't forever, but when you overcome this step you will look back and value it as a lesson from our heavenly father. In the deepest darkest moments of uncertainty God is with you. He will never leave nor forsake you in any struggle, but it is up to you to persevere under trial and not crumble under the pressure.

James 1:12

"Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
