I’ve gone through a lot of things lately that have been extremely difficult, for me, for family, for people I deeply care about and for those I thought were friends. In all of the darkness – there has been light! I’ve found some amazing relationships that I’ve overlooked for a long time, too long. My relationships with others have grown unexpectedly. The support and help and love I’ve found I never dreamed I’d have during my darkest days. I’ve talked until I’m blue in the face, I’ve meditated, I’ve cried, I’ve laughed and I’ve prayed. I know that without the support of others I would not find myself in a better place. I can’t ever undo what’s been done — but I can learn and move beyond the darkness.
There are 2 books that have been more than helpful to me throughout this journey —
The Language of Letting Go – Melody Beattie
Jesus Calling, Sarah Young
Some days I think these books were written specifically for me – they hit home more often then not!!!
If I’ve learned anything from my choices, good and bad it’s this:
Sometimes the people around you won’t understand your journey. They don’t need to, it’s not for them!!
I think this is what I want for my next tattoo as a reminder!
