I want to tell others that God sees all of our "stuff".....good, glorious, and ugly....and looks at us and says, "Hey, Want to go get a burger?" Which means? You are loved....always...and completely and unconditionally.
You are loved and you can move forward.
It's your turn to move forward.
Some things happen for a reason and some do not and I am no longer looking at my past with a magnifying glass trying to figure out which one each event in my life was.
The past can't own you anymore.
Not anymore.
Not if you want to breathe.
Not if you want to embrace the bubbling happy and content feeling you deserve to feel each morning when you wake up.
We go through all of that pain and struggle and we must allow ourselves the reward......healing.
Healing is the reward.
Laughing again, reaching towards our dreams, and buying ourselves flowers is the reward for all of the years we spent buried in the rubble.
I want to help others through their trauma and grief with my writings of hope.
I desire to write about God coming into my darkness and handing me a lit candle.
I want to tell you that God sees all of our "stuff".....good, glorious, and ugly....and looks at us and says, "Hey, Want to go get a burger?" Which means? You are loved....always...and completely and unconditionally.
In 2019 as a widowed woman...I wore a white dress and I moved forward into the next chapter of the story of my life. I didn't ask anyone's permission. I finally learned it's my life.
Life is joy and pain and we have to learn to embrace and live through both.
Allow yourself to move forward.
Allow yourself to heal.
Does time heal all wounds? No....and some...yes.
Build a new castle out of all of that rubble and decorate your soul with flowers.
Move forward. Take the leap into your new story.
God will be there waiting for you.
Love always, Nik
