Enjoying the Path

One year ago I left divorce papers on my kitchen counter. I was devistated, heartbroken, and anxious about a future that was no longer planned out. I found support in good friends and a church ministry for people going through divorce. By divine intervention, the people in my divorce group became really close. My quiet home filled with light and laughter and I both witnessed and experienced some seriously beautiful healing.

One of the hardest things about my divorce was mourning the future I expected for my family. I thought my life was on a certain path. The details were unclear, but there was a destination for the four of us. That future was erased in an instant… and filled with a void.

The one thing I’ve embraced more than anything this past year, is the peace in letting go of trying to figure out “the plan”. As long as I’m pointed in the general direction I want to head in, I can focus on being intentional with my smaller actions and trust that I’ll reach somewhere beautiful. Our church small group did a really great 4-part video study that culminated in this awesome lesson: https://youtu.be/6K2qyStLXHQ

Don’t misunderstand me, I still have absolutely no clue what I’m doing - ha! But I have a happy and hopeful heart filled with faith that I have a beautiful story still to be written. I’m laser focused on keeping a foundation of faith and family. God has blessed this broken road, and I’m so excited for where it is leading me.
