๐ฟ From My Restoration Journal | One Day You Realizeโฆ
Sisโฆ
The life you keep praying for may require a decision youโre terrified to make.
That was true for me.
Leaving wasnโt easy.
Leaving the life I had builtโฆ including being farther away from my children than Iโd ever imaginedโฆ wasnโt easy.
There were tearsโฆ
Questionsโฆ
Moments I wondered if I was making the biggest mistake of my life.
But I also knew something had to change.
I couldnโt keep asking life to ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐ฉ while I kept choosing what was familiar.
Now, every once in a whileโฆ
I catch myself looking around and smiling.
Not because life has been easy.
Because I ๐ง๐๐ข๐๐ข๐๐๐ง ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐ค๐ค๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐๐ง๐.
The ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ to leave what no longer fit.
The ๐๐ถ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ to take the risk.
The ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ถ๐๐ต to keep walking before I could see where the path was leading.
This peace didnโt ๐ฉ๐ข๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฏ to me.
๐ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐ถ๐.
And every quiet morning. Every deep breathโฆ
every moment I have to simply beโฆ
feels like a ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ธ ๐๐ผ๐ to the woman who found the courage to believe she was worthy of this life.
I used to think restoration could change everything.
Now I knowโฆ
โฆit does.
