*Trigger warning*
One year ago today, everything changed. I almost lost my life, and in the shadow of that moment, I feared I had lost everything else, too.
Today, I might look tired and a bit messy, but those surface things just don't hold weight anymore.
Itโs been quite a year. Right now, I am navigating the painful end of a significant chapterโlosing the very thing I once mistakenly thought I needed just to survive that initial trauma a year ago. And yes, I am hurting. But here I stand, with absolutely no hate or anger in my heart.
God used near-death to reveal what is actually unshakeable. My heart is overflowing with gratitude for the people and blessings that remain, and I have hope for what is to come. Iโve deeply realized that what is falling away was never truly mine anyway.
Your life is a gift. Don't sweat the small stuff.
'Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.'
โ 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
