Life as I know it has changed. Maybe not how others view me or my life. But inside of me. In that place where I really live. I am finding that peace is not always given. Sometimes it has to be pursued, picked up, taken. I am learning that I have to take responsibility for my own stuff. And that I am not responsible for someone else's stuff. I am learning that because someone says that he is sorry and I say that I forgive DOESN'T mean that life has to go back to the same old rut and habits. I get to choose to live differently.
I am learning that sometimes letting someone fail, not covering for him, not making it all ok.....can actually allow he and God the time that they need to get together. And....God and I too.
I am learning that the fate of the world does not rest upon my succeeding in everything. And that "failing" is often just the precursor to another part of life being a great success.
My life has changed. My heart has changed.
I have changed. For the better. No, I am not hard hearted. No, I am not uncaring. I have simply realized that I matter also. And that being me is important. I'm the only me that there is.
grace to you.
