Victory-it comes in small doses.
So in today's journey towards bravery, it was a huge victory! Not falling into old habits and traps. When dealing with people from your past, whether family, an ex or someone you feel has wronged you, it is so easy to revert back to being the victim, being intimidated or just giving in. Not today, my friends, not today!
My focus remained on my children. I diverted the conversation every time it turned to him. I reminded myself that the change in MY behavior will make a difference in my life, not waiting for a change in his behavior. WIN!
Now I'm not saying it was easy, or that I wasn't shaking internally. And I'm not saying that I didn't have a moment that I wanted to run. I am saying I stood firm. I was BRAVE. I reminded myself who I am, and what I want my life to become. And that girl who was scared of everything.......she's gone. She packed up and went back where she belonged. IN THE PAST.
I pray that if you are reading this, you realize there is hope. For a future, for growth, for tomorrow. There is still time for dreams to come true, and goals to be met. I am laying this out there because I want to reach you. To the very core of you. To that place that you hide from the world, and even from yourself. I want to encourage you and be a voice for you.
Your life is just beginning. Here. Right now. You just have to WANT IT. It doesn't mean you won't struggle. Or that there won't be pain, and tears. But there will be healing. And joy. And peace. Don't you want that for yourself??
Be brave. Be bold. Be you.
