WE CAN’T GO BACK, BUT GOD CAN REDEEM IT

One of the things I struggle with from my past is a season I went through where I was doing everything to distract myself from how miserable I was.

All I cared about was what was the next thing to make me happy and feel that rush of “bliss”. My life-coach calls this buffering.

Going out with friends and leaving my kids with a babysitter. I can cry today when I remember leaving my kids so I could go have my fun. I didn’t honor my role as a mother or as a wife and no number of outings would fulfill me.

I have shared this story with my kids and sometimes I still go up to them in tears and I say I just need to hug them and tell them I love them and they know why.

The amazing thing about Jesus is no matter what we have done in our past, He can take it all and make it work for our good. He has given me a respect for each day like I’ve never had before that season. Each day is a blessing and an opportunity to make a memory.

I used to hate my story, but I am learning to let Jesus REDEEM it. My story has Jesus written all over it where I used to see mistakes, shame, and sadness.

Your story can be redeemed and each day that comes is an opportunity to start over and make it count.
