Who exactly is Madi?

Who am I? Well like all of us, I am complicated, I am simple, I am unsure of so many things in my life. Choices I have made in my life have all led me to where I am today. So many tears have fallen, broken hearted so many times. And yet I manage to find a way to smile and laugh as do my best to make it thru every day. Some days so much harder than others. Just a fact of life.

And yet the one constant is my desire to make every one I meet smile or laugh. Even if for only a minute, I do my best to be that positive interaction with people I interact with on a daily basis. Have met so many amazing and wonderful people in this life’s journey and I so often wonder what is their story? What path or choices did they take or make that got them to this point and time in their life?

Many years ago while on a trip with my then spouse, we had been arguing and fussing and I remember we had stopped to get them a haircut and as I sat there and stewed, the Lord showed me them as He see’s them and that forever changed how I look at people. When you see people thru the eyes of God, it is very hard to look at people with hate, anger and judgement.

Now I am far from perfect, and yep some days people really annoy me. Yet I always feel a conviction about my mindset. It can be humbling for sure. But I am someone who deeply loves humanity and knowing more about people I encounter….the story beyond the story, and in order to do that we have to look beyond.
