JUST PUSH

It has been Thirty-two days since this Lenten Journey began, and I’m still PUSHING (praying until something happens). It is amazing what can happen when you just keep PUSHING and trusting God. This is the first time, since my healing began, that I actually made it this long without totally giving up on my Lenten penance. This year, day by day I have learned that no matter how difficult things have been, when true healing takes place, I can beat the enemy.

As with anything, there have been major challenges. The disappointments have continued; yet my ability to JUST PUSH and simply trust God has made my life much simpler. Daily, as I apply different tools to conquer each day, I have gradually accomplished my goal of true transformation from within. I feel renewed in mind and spirit. Now, I must focus on getting my body on board.

I have been able to be a little more patient, use nicer words with those who trigger me, and I have managed to reduce some of my stress. Although there is still a long road ahead of me’ I am confident that there will be permanent change. Now I must focus on caring more about my physical health and changing my eating habits.
This Lenten Season, my relationship with God has become stronger, and I have continued to grow in my faith. The peace that lies within me gives me pure joy. Although my financial life is at its worse, the peace that continues simply prevents me from totally giving up.

Sharing with others my strengths, weaknesses, joys, struggles, good days and bad is my way of allowing others to know that they are not alone. When others are encouraged to speak their truth after hearing my story, I too, am encouraged to keep PUSHING. With all of the negativity and evil that surrounds us daily, God continues to speak to me, confirming through the healing of others, that I am truly walking in my purpose. There are many who fail to understand the pain that many of us go through when dealing with trauma. Few can comprehend the damage that abuse, betrayal, bullying and being silent can cause. There are even fewer who even care, yet refusing to remain silent in order to defy the stigma continues to remain my purpose.

As the Lenten season quickly winds down, I continue to remain determined to focus on the healing rather than the pain. I am determined to JUST PUSH through to my breakthrough. The blessings of peace, joy and happiness are well worth the wait. I am thankful for the ability to see the light in the midst of total darkness, and I continue to JUST PUSH (pray my way through) until I come out on the other side.
