This is my story, and it’s only the beginning.
Baby steps… it’s like when my children were learning how to walk. I didn’t stand them up and expect them to sprint. I got down on my knees in front of them, and I caught them in my arms. They knew they could step towards me because I was not going to let them fall. They trusted me. Eventually, I would back up even more knowing they could make longer strides. I cheered for them.
That is a beautiful picture of the healing God has done in my life, one step at a time. I stood there before Him carrying the most broken, hidden and painful pieces of my life. He came down low, looked me in the eyes, opened His arms wide and asked me to take a baby step towards His light and His truth. With each and every step, I discovered more of His love and His peace. He brought comfort to the wreckage and He has truly restored all that was taken.
