No New Beginning


No New Beginning

As much as we’d like, we can’t start a new beginning. We can only start today & make a new ending for our life. I do not have the power to go back and change what has happened to me in the past. Even if I could, I would honestly choose not to change a thing.  Going through a divorce has been one of the biggest life lessons I have experienced so far.  God has taken what I first viewed as something negative & has made it a way for me to reach out to others in their time of struggle. 

I know the healing that has taken place in me is something beyond this earth.  It is a healing that only God can do. I did everything as I felt the Lord was calling me to do and as hard of a struggle as it was, He has brought me farther than I could have ever imagined.  He has given to me a life of peace, happiness & so much joy!   You have no idea how thankful I am that I was obedient and took the time to listen to where I felt Him guiding me.   

Everyone heals in their own timing because each person’s situation is different.  My aunt who lost her husband in an air plane crash had the strength to remarry within 1 year.  Another friend of mine whose husband passed away has been single for 4 years and is still nervous about dating.   All of our hearts are unique and that is okay.  Whatever situation you find yourself in, be sure that you are taking the time to prayerfully consider what God’s plan is for your life and take the time to stay on course with Him.

As I embark on a new journey in my life and start fresh, I know there will be set backs.  Moments in life where not all will go as planned, but I pray that I will be able to take the lessons I’ve learned and apply them to my life in the future.   There are no wasted lessons so I want to keep my eyes open and have a willingness to literally live and learn.
