(day 16 of my 31 day blog series: Live Free. )
Today I’m taking time to remember just how far I’ve come and how much God has done in my life thus far. Do you know how many journals I have? Records of prayers? Pages of my joys, my sorrows and my dreams? Photos of God moments? Do you know how much of a mess I was when God grabbed my heart? And even though I’m not where I want to be, I have come a long, long way. I wish I could share my long list of breakthroughs with you tonight, but I’m tired. Today was one of those days. Not a bad kind of day, but an unplanned kind of day. My daughter stayed home because she was feeling lousy, so instead of my regularly scheduled morning meeting, I took life as it came. And I ended up on a brainstorming phone call with a friend. We laughed and laughed until we cried. So tonight I remember how good a belly laugh is. I remember how important friends are to me.
God, please help me always remember what matters.
People, people and more people.
Grace, grace and more grace.
And Your amazing love.

It is so important to spend time remembering where it is we came from. When life gets hard and heavy, I have to pause and look back and praise Him that He didn’t leave me in that mess. He has brought so many people into my life, gifts, that have truly helped shaped me into who I am today. I am ever so thankful for the journey.
Barbie, it’s always good to remember the journey, unless we are stuck on the dark parts of our stories. I know I’ve looked back and felt such remorse and shame. So for me to be healthy, I’ve gotta remember the God moments, the times He rescued me and spoke love over my wounds. I’ve gotta focus on the breakthroughs and progress..
