Let's talk about trauma.
We all have it.
For the longest time I thought it defined me. That I WAS what I went through. That the events of my childhood bound me to that life and it was just who I was and who I would become.
That was a lie. A lie I almost believed.
You don’t get to choose the cards that you are dealt but you do get to choose how you play them. Everyday you are given the choice to either stay there or get up. To make something of yourself. To take control of the days that lie ahead. Sure it’s easier to linger in them, to be angry, to question everything, to be frustrated and wish it was all different but the reality is… it just simply isn’t. What if you started looking at it for what it is? What if it isn’t/didn’t happen to you but rather it happened FOR you.
I didn’t make the decisions that raised me. I didn’t cause the trauma to myself. I didn’t choose the path that I was put on. But I’ll tell you what I chose….
The life God perfectly designed for me. He doesn’t make mistakes. He brought me through my hardships and used them to make me who I am. Every single trial I faced I was walking through it and becoming who I am.
Girl, get up. Become who you are meant to be and don’t for a second let what you have gone through keep you from where you are going.
