For those of you who have been walking the journey out with me over the years here on Heartstone know that life is not always fair, its tough and through it as all we share many of the same stories. These events in our lives shape us along the way and how we choose to interpret these events makes all the difference in the world.
One of these events for me was divorce. It was tough…very tough, but I’ve learned so much about myself that I would not have learned unless I walked through this dark chapter in my life. I could have let it destroy me, but God put the right people in my path to help me walk it out and to see life through a different lens. I am learning to walk it out as my authentic self, to being the real deal, choosing to live life fully alive through it all.
God definitely got my attention, but breaking free of the expectations of this performance-oriented view of the world would take some time. Here is a snippet from Heartstone that described my condition.
