You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?

We only get one life. As each birthday comes and goes I realize how quickly this life passes by. It’s truly like a vapor in the wind. In our youth we think we have so much time to live. To do so many things. In a quick blink; we are looking back and wondering how it all went so wrong. Wisdom and love are the only things we hope to gain in our golden years. I ask myself have I loved and been loved? Contemplating the fierce love for family and a few close friends. I have no regrets. I am a woman who allows only certain people into my inner circle. If you’ve been there count yourself blessed. I have protected, loved, served, been honest, had you covered in prayer. Loyal. Family also has been protected; loved with fierceness. Served. I have few regrets when it comes to relationships with my family.

I have lost many relationships in this life. Through lack of communication; miscommunication; hurt feelings; misunderstandings; me putting more value on the relationship than they did. Hurt people just hurting people I suppose.

Looking back you wonder why you go through certain situations. We experience the valleys of life and the mountain tops of life. Where do we have the most growth? What brings us closer to our innermost being? I know what gets me talking to God. The valley walk has me looking within and asking God why like a child asking a parent. Why why why….but I already know the answer. We are all just human beings. Hurting people trying our very best to walk out this life the best way we know how. I want to be more human doing instead of being. There is more to life than focusing on our hurt and trauma. The enemy wants us focused on that instead of focusing on the one who has conquered it all. God is our redemption! Help us lord for we know not what we do. Help us love more like you. Help us break down walls. Help us forgive.

This next chapter of life will be a blink and then I’ll be with my father in heaven. What kind of impact do I want to make? Break off these chains that bind us oh lord. Awaken a new spirit within us. We can’t do this life without you. Every time we try we fail! Soften hearts. Open eyes. Reveal truth. It’s all about you God.

”“So I give you now a new commandment: Love each other just as much as I have loved you. For when you demonstrate the same love I have for you by loving one another, everyone will know that you’re my true followers.”“
‭‭John‬ ‭13‬:‭34‬-‭35‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Help me be better lord. Help me to love better. Help me to break down walls that I build when I get hurt; lied too; rejected; used; betrayed; and broken. Mend our brokenness God. You are the only one who can fill that ginormous hole in our soul. Fill us up.
