Restoration

There’s a funny thing that happens when someone starts to let go. Here and now I’m in the midst of letting go, forgiving, and learning to allow myself a moment or two to just breathe.

For a long time I held a lot of anger. I was upset and confused about certain things that happened in my life, shaping my life in ways I never could have imagined. I carried this anger around for a long time. And while outwardly it seemed I had everything together, inside I was screaming and fighting.





It’s taken me years to get to the place I’m at now, but now that I’m here some really great things are happening. My family relationships have been restored. Other relationships, my contentment, my faith, my dreams, and my heart are also being restored. It’s really hard to put into words, but for so long I gave up on a lot of my dreams ever coming true. I lost the fight in me, but I’m so thankful that someone kept fighting for me.

I’m in a place where I can just be and there’s something really neat about that. Regardless that my lifelong planned failed three years ago and I feel completely out of control- I have an overwhelming sense of calm that stirs inside of me. I have the faith that all my dreams can still come true. And, I trust that no matter how often I turn my back or lose the fight in me there will always be Someone who never loses their fight, who never stops pursuing me, and who never lets me get too far away.

  1. E, seems like you are in a good place in your journey. This post reminded me a quote from Eckhart Tolle:

    "...sometimes letting go is an act of far greater power than defending or hanging on."
