Me? I used too. It wasn't until I had spent a little time reflecting on all the change in my life that I realized it was really for the best. If it weren't for change I would never have lived in several different states. If it weren't for change I wouldn't have met all the people I hold dear. If it weren't for change I would have never realized I have anxiety. If it weren't for change I wouldn't be so hopeful. Instead of hopeless.
Thankfully I realized I needed to make a change in me. For the past month I have been taking care of myself. Not just spiritually, but physically, and mentally. Not only have I lost weight, gained confidence, but I've begun to feel more alive.
"Jesus always pointed people to a better version of themselves- especially when they've failed."-Bob Goff.
(If you haven't read "Love Does" by him, I suggest you do immediately.)
This sparks so much within me, it is hard not to get excited and write a novel based off of one quote. I've failed so often. I've failed to take care of myself, mentally and physically. I have failed class, after class. I've given up on friendships when they get hard. I have given up on relationships when they get "too serious". I have allowed those things to let me down. But because of the good Lord he brings me back to him. Brings me to solace and grace.
I have failed. But thankfully for change, I can see that failure is necessary in life.
There's a certain beauty in failure.
There's a certain beauty in change.
Therefore there's beauty in life.
