I AM STRONG
I AM A LOVER

I AM A NURTURER

I WILL FAIL AT TIMES
I WILL NOT QUIT

I WILL BEND BUT...
I WILL NOT BREAK!

Rebuild and Restore:Trusting the Process

This season of my life is my winter...I am shedding the old while God is creating the new within me! The journey to restoration is not always pretty because in order to fully bloom in Spring everything must die and fall off so that there is room for the new buds to grow. Asking God to take control of your life and giving him full access to your mind, body, and spirit and is like planting a seed and waiting for the flowers to grow. While the seed is being nourished and fed with water, soil, and sunlight the shell has to crack and break open to fully receive the nutrients. This is where the magic really happens because as the roots begin to emerge from the broken seed and plant themselves deep in the ground the flower is claiming it's place in the soil.

I know that I if I keep showing up everyday eventually the day will come when all of this will be a distant memory, but I pray that day comes sooner than later because I feel like giving up!

This week has been filled with mixed emotions. My truck is broke down and I absolutely have no idea when I'll be able to get it fixed, but thanks to some great friends I've made it to work when I needed to be there and I've been able to run a few errands. I received a stellar review at my place of employment and can see myself building my career here. I've also been able to set my sights on a plan to help build my credit score and get out of debt. Am I still feeling depressed and anxious at times? The answer is most definitely, but I know those feelings can't last forever. I will work my way out of this hole I'm in and I will try my best to smile while doing it!
