What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself?-Writing Prompt

This is a question I am uncertain how to answer. After the last couple of days this is my response. Albeit maybe an emotional one, but it’s how I feel listening to the reports from Israel.

A personal goal that is hard…well this was the first thing that came to mind. I believed I would find, my man… somehow during college I guess. I never thought I would be a couple decades removed from High School without my soulmate.

Yet this afternoon after listening to the reporting of what Hamas has done to those innocent civilians… those precious babies. It’s difficult to not cry I have had droplets wet my eyes in the past couple of days but today tears ran down my cheeks. Maybe this is why I have not been united with Bryan as of yet. I’m too emotional and don’t have children to feel the outright despair those families in Israel are truly feeling.

Although that is also faulty thinking. I have a niece and cousins I love dearly as much as family loves their family. There is no adequate way to wrap all of this around in ones mind the bloodshed and what if we were in their shoes. This is a very real possibility due to some pitfalls of this Administration not taking our National Defense seriously.

However, as Americans, we have never been a people to fear and cower. I want a family; I am not afraid of climate change. God is in control, maybe there are other factors I don’t even know about that may become apparent later on in some way. Yet scripture says to be single and be focused on the work of God is a good thing.
