Next Stop: Construction Zone

To fall flat on your face is to release who you use to be.
To get back up is to become who you are. - HyQuality

Between Romans 8: 28 and Galatians 6: 7 I have been building my understanding of everything that has happened. The people that have left. The relationships that have failed. The words I wish I had kept to myself. I have released the claims they had on my identity, demoting them to tools in the Potter's hands. He has kept me because I asked and yield. The blessing is not in a thing. But in the language attached to my name. Either He will reign forever or it will rain forever but I will not put my faith in both. I thank God for the place I am in. The breaking means more room for Him. A part of rebuilding is realizing that I lacked nothing from the beginning. Greater is He that is in me and in Him is all I need. This is not to starting over. This is to making better.

Construction Zones

There are two things the calm signifies. One is the peace of a new morning the other is the impartation of strength you don't know you need. I've learned that the key to maintaining the peace is having faith that it will come. Hindsight is always 20/20. When you look back everything is picture perfect.
So clear you can see it before you see it. In that moment I wonder what happened to the signs. The flashing lights. The orange cones. How did I miss my exit. Off key moving closer to my dreams. On point worried about the edge. Sometimes it's hard to believe.

Regret. Cause I'd say anything to make you believe that wasn't me who said yes. I wasn't in my right mind. I just needed somebody. He was available I was there and the rest I refuse to remember. See what had happened was sounds so much better than honestly I just fell in love. There was never a we. I was to busy chasing you to notice me. But me was so dedicated to us even though I was all alone. Fabrication always soothes before it burns. But I'm not a victim.

Resentment. My failure to avoid pain caused by your decision. Re send me not. The promise that you won't go back where you came from. Regret lived on levels established by pain birth through betrayal. Confidence reduced to a simple wish. An if than statement that with never come true. Re send it. Back to the beginning so I can fast forward to the joy that's coming. He left. Thank God he left.

Forgive me. For what?? Everything. Father they know not what they have done. If the truth chooses to testify against me I know a judge who has already declared me free. I take no thought of the life that is before me but of the work that is in me. Walking, my confidence is in my stride not my speed. I take long steps with deep breathes to take all of Him in. Exhale. Demolition doesn't always mean destroyed. Just added space. Forward. My future needs me and this time I won't disappoint.

Knock You Down

"Love (human affection) has put me through so much. Ive cried held on let go let God. Stayed. Thought about leaving. Threw in the towel went to go wash it. Prayed and fasted. Stopped moving moved too fast. Sometimes I need a break from love." - Shanithia That one little mini paragraph is exactly how I feel right about now. I'm sitting here trying to figure out how else to explain it but that's it. On more than one occasion a couple different people have told me I need to let these relationships go and be by myself for a while. I need to enjoy the world around me cause once I get married I'm going to wish I had enjoyed life a little more. I always laughed about. I'm still laughing about that actually. I enjoy my life most days. Cant say all days cause these past four days have been....lets just say I've had way way way way better days. I don't feel as if the world has anything for me except foolishness and more trouble than I'm already promised. And...

My Peace With Pain

"Go find your place of worship. Look into your pain and find your praise. Every low place in your life prepared you for your high place. And every tear you cried was water for the garden of your victory. And even though your in the valley victory comes through your adversity." - Marvin Sapp : Place of Worship Not advertising has its rewards. But also consequences. I feel like no matter the decision pain is a part of the process. Like at some point somebody was going to make me stare long and hard in the mirror. The confidence it takes to declare something you hardly desire to admit skipped over me until recently. I spent months praying for the lesson. Saying lord teach me. But I was not prepared for an experience. He is faithful to answer on the spot. So quick sometimes you're like whoa is this Him or me. Nevertheless He answered. Taking me back around to familiar places and situations. Digging up all the dirt I had so carefully catered to. Making sure it wasn't ove...
