I switched over to a new blog page very recently, having changed my last name and all. Who knew that by simply trying to make a "g" and "s" I'd have to make a completely new blog page? I probably don't have to but being that I am not the most technically savvy individual, this is how I resolved my little situation.
Anyway...I was reading through some of my old blog posts and came across a paragraph that I had written last fall. I remember being in somewhat of a dark place; dealing with the internal demons and insecurities of some of my decisions and the emotional fallout of a failed relationship. And while my life is much less complicated these days, it was a nice reminder to myself that there is beauty from the ashes of our lives. So I thought I would repost that paragraph as a reminder to me, and maybe an encouragement to anyone who may eventually read this little blog page of mine.
"And at the moment of awakening you are struck with a liberating realization....I am simply a human being. I am flawed, broken, rejected, lonely & insecure. But I am also restored, forgiven, redeemed, loved, desired, valued, never alone, & full of worth and promise."

To everything turn, turn, turn...
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 |
To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war; and a time of peace. |
