These four women are discovering it’s hard letting go of what was when you never expected what life has become.
A leopard can’t change their spots. A zebra isn’t able to erase it’s stripes. A butterfly doesn’t get to change it’s wings. Not even the pitfalls, mishaps, abuses, failures, disappointments, trials or tribulations of life are able to alter, erase or change anyone’s destiny. We are able to live the life God had in mind when he fashioned us when we discover and embrace our purpose.
Decisions, dedication and determination impact each person’s destiny. It’s not something that happens to you without your input or effort. Each moment, each thought, each action decides where we will be eight minutes, eight months and eight years from today. Because that is true we can decide to change direction at any moment. Destiny is the journey along the path of our life’s decisions. God assigns the purpose for our lives. Our reactions, decisions and daily habits determine how we fulfill it.
