I am in a season of second chances. Rekindling abandoned friendships. Extending my hand towards family members. Giving myself the grace to mess things up and the strength to relinquish my desire to fix it all. I will take my brother out to lunch. I will help my grandmother sort old photographs and go through the memories she treasures. I will sing with my sister and learn about the things that are important to her. I will spend time really listening to my friends. I will travel with my uncle and see the family farm. I will call my parents and visit home. I will let my heart's Melody know that she is loved--that her life is not a failure.
I will be someone who is dependable. I will make that commitment to the people I love.
God has made it clear that I am to steward my relationships. I cannot save, fix, or heal, but I can embody joy and love. I can appreciate what I have been given and the love that is around me. I do not have to be a victim of circumstance. I am not the poster child of tragedy.
From Genesis to Exodus and back again. I have been given a new beginning. Hold me to it. Help me share it.
