In that moment I thought my life as I knew it was over.
Such hopelessness I had never before experienced.
It was so personal.
And I was so vulnerable.
I had trusted someone without question.
Sought success without wisdom.
The scars of that season were both healing yet wounding.
I can still experience them throwing a shadow on my path today.
But when you get hurt in the deepest sense it sometimes opens your eyes to see.
Where to go and how lost you've been.
And the healing part of that pain is worth a lifetime of wisdom.
I was young and foolish.
And I learned my lesson.
How to judge yet with a soft heart.
And how to live free despite your mistakes, understanding that you're actually powerful.
After those mistakes I built stronger relationships and lived more fully.
My life as it is now was formed and redeemed by those huge mistakes I made.
Today I am finding new wisdom in what happened that day.
Who I already was and what I feared to happen.
And what I still do.
Finding the true form of my fears guided me in finding the blinding lies I am still believing now.
When you seek success it starts with your own heart.
What it is full and what its emptiness holds.
Look your fear in the eye while you hold space for healing.
Your past is not your limit as long as you face it.
As long as you let your heart stay soft and strong at the same time.
To be held.
To be called by its truest name, yet unknown.
