One Year

I can't believe it's already been a year...

A year ago today I made a heartwrenching decision to get a divorce.

After years of struggle, I had finally reached a point where it was alright for me to let go.

I remember the conversation I had with my ex husband. We were both in agreement over the decision, but even so, I was completely devastated. I had no idea what the future held or how I was going to make ends meet, and honestly that terrified me.

Over the next few months, I experienced every bad emotion: Fear, Anger, Guilt, Denial, Sadness. I had no idea how I was ever going to get through that horrific time in my life. I thought that a year from then I would still be experiencing those emotions.

.. and the truth is, a year later, I'm not.

Instead of the bad feelings mentioned above, I have complete peace and joy about the situation.

I know that might sound extremely strange, but that is definitely the case.

Truth be told, I'm the happiest I've been in six years or so.

Never in my own strength could I have gotten through this whole situation.. It was totally and undeniably God.

So thank you God for a year of healing and restoration.

Thank you for peace and joy..

Above all, thank you for Your faithfulness.
