I'm still so overwhelmed that God has given me the grace for second chances. This season has been one of the hardest I've been in to date. I am not the same woman I was a year ago. I'm not even the same person I was six months ago. I have faced trial after trial, some walking away victorious; while others I walked away feeling defeated. I have experienced some of the deepest hurt and darkest nights. On one hand I would give it all back in an instant to never have to feel this way again; on the other hand I know God is perfecting me slowly into a better image of His Son.
Today, I'm standing at a crossroads in almost every area of my life. Some steps I have taken in spontaneous faith while others I am slowly navigating and seeking the face of God for direction. Am I confident that every decision is the right one? No, but I am confident that God really does "work all things together for good to those who love him and are called according to His purposes." I am looking at each one as a chance to grow deeper in faith and trust while watching God orchestrate my life into a beautiful symphony. I will make wise choices and foolish ones. I will make mistakes and take great strides. And I am walking confidently knowing that every decision comes with support, love and grace from my family and close friends. I have seen it proven so much in this season that even in my failures they are by my side to walk this out with me.
I am choosing today to turn the page into a new chapter of my life. Wrestling with the desire to look back but instead choosing to fix my eyes on the prize, the author and perfecter of my faith. To run with endurance the race set before me.
