LET IT HURT, THEN LET IT GO
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Isaiah 43:18-19
I created this blog as a part of my own personal healing journey in hopes that as I shared my heart, it might help someone else in their process.
With that being said, the truth is healing is painful. It’s messy and it just plain SUCKS! But the pain has a purpose. It’s preparing your heart, mind and spirit for the amazing future God has for you. It’s necessary.
It took me 4 for days to finish this blog not because I didn’t know what I wanted to say but because I got distracted and low-spirited. I don’t usually allow myself to stay there for that long and I’m grateful I’m not there today. I noticed that when I focus on what’s causing me to be afflicted, I’ve taken my eyes off the one who delivers me from it all.
You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Isaiah 26:3
Everyday is a decision to choose joy and today I was full of expectation. I decided to make myself look like something so I felt like something. It works, trust me. It’s normal to have days where you can’t get up, you cry all day and you may question every decision you make but you can’t stay there. I can’t stay there. I can’t give up.
I choose to trust God and move forward every day even when I don’t feel good. I choose joy. I choose to believe that everything is working for my good and that on the other side of this pain is exceeding greatness, an impenetrable strength and an amazing faith focused future.
I shifted my gaze back on the Father and changed how I spoke about myself and my situation. I speak life back into my soul by speaking what He says about me.
I am healed. I’m strong and courageous. I am more than enough. I have more than enough. I am whole. I am worthy. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. God misses nothing. He sees everything. He is always with me. He’ll never put more on me than I can bear. He’ll never leave me nor forsake me. He can absolutely be trusted.
And He will get the glory out of it all!
Take your time, trust the process and His timing, and get excited.
Greater is coming……….
