Back on Track

You know, I've been struggling a lot lately, alone. I haven't told many people any details because I have been ashamed to admit that things aren't great. I suppose I have been told one too many times that 'happy girls are the prettiest girls' not to suck it up, put a smile on and act like I have everything under control. But I am happy, I'm not less because I have struggles, neither are you & the big guy upstairs has everything under control.

While I don't want to go into details about the past few weeks, I do want to promise that this will be the year that I not longer omit pieces of my story. I know I have these struggles, heartbreak, abandonment, hardships, and this particular testimony so that I can relate to people.

Our stories connect us together.

There is comfort in honesty, there is comfort in not being alone & there is a comfort in being vulnerable, even when it's hard and it's so easy to be fearful of judgement.

For where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am among them.

Matthew 18:20

I know good will come from all of this. I have been learning a lot about my own strength but even more about my humility. The Lord has been teaching me a lesson and today was the first glimpse of justification for the constant mishaps lately, there are far worse things than the small things I let bring me down. I realize that my focus is off track.

Luckily, the war has already been won. I don't have to fight & I definitely don't have to fight alone. 

& through Him, I'm finding my way back.

Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.

1 Thessalonians 5:11
