Introduction

All I've Ever Wanted

Have you ever looked back on your life and noticed that the whole picture is made up of a bunch of paths that seem to be woven together?  

You can reflect, as you visualize the whole, on how, during and at the end of each experience, the choices you made clearly set you on particular paths.  

Eventually, each path chosen becomes strong and straight and is woven into a whole lifetime tapestry with pictures that only you can see using your mind's eye.  

Some paths of our tapestry are dark and scary, while other sections of your tapestry are bright and beautiful.  Each section highlighting the pieces of your life as you had lived those times.  

The dark and scary sections are the paths that you wish you hadn't had to go down.

The beautiful pieces are paths you wish you could remain on forever, without making any further choices or continuing with any more experiences.  

The rules of life say that you are not able to reverse course on your path, no mater how hard you try.  

Life rule number one:  You may not erase life paths from your life.  You can only go forward in time, making (hopefully) better choices (at least the best you know how from experience) and weaving your paths over and under each other, until the tapestry is complete.

My tapestry is, at the time of this writing, sixty-four and a half years in the making.  A relatively short lifetime, and I know that many do not make it even this far. Hopefully, I will have many more threads in my weaving.  

Those remaining threads will not be major, new "paths".  They will be bright and gleaned from the lessons that I've learned on each of my paths, through life and my choices. 

In my life, there are more dark pieces than I would have liked, but the bright pieces woven throughout, make the whole tapestry so beautiful and give it bright integral rainbow colors.  

While I look back in my mind's eye, I can see that the dark pieces were necessary and actually help the whole picture be clearly beautiful. That is impossible to see on those dark paths of life, as you live them.

So, I believe the bright and beautiful parts of my tapestry are what Heaven has waiting for me.  I'll be living eternally with Jesus, my Savior, and my loved ones who have completed their weaving.  

I will go through my after-life in Heaven in my happy corner, made up of the brightest and most peaceful pieces of my life tapestry.


In the posts of "My Real Faith Seeds" blog, I will take the reader along those life paths. My hope is that my experiences may help someone get through, continue on and never give up in their path through life. 

The posts will not be in order of how they were lived, but will be stories in and of themselves of true times in my life.  You can determine the bright threads from the darker sections, always knowing that there is no giving up.  

Get to the end of all your paths, through faith and then, you will be able to look at your tapestry with pride for having gone the distance.  

It is true that whatever God brings you to, He will bring your through.  Never give up.
