I never imagined the MEMORIES OF THE NEW…would someday out-shadow the MEMORIES OF THE OLD.
Every January, since 2004 memories fill my brain - memories of dad’s suicide and the events of the day, that week, that year(s).
But looking at THESE photos in my ‘memories’ as they popped up today on FB something hit me.
The tears that fill my eyes are not the bad kind. They’re the good kind. The kind that come from a place deep within my soul that shouts “I still can’t believe THESE new memories even happened that day”!!
And this was just 3 years ago. 3 years ago I had NO IDEA what life would even look like now TODAY. I probably would have wept even harder than I did that weekend after this memory happened if I knew THIS was coming today. What life is, today.
I never imagined the MEMORIES OF THE NEW…would someday out-shadow the MEMORIES OF THE OLD.
To the point that it’s no longer the old memories that make me cry. It’s the NEW ones, the good ones. The ones where I can’t believe where life has gotten to all these years later.
Friend I don’t know what painful, or horrific memories you hold. But can you imagine a day, where NEW memories TAKE OVER the old?
If you would have told me years prior what I’d be doing now I would have said “Hah! I’m not qualified to do that! I don’t know how to do that?! How would I even do that if I wanted to?!” And quite frankly …”how could it be me? Who am I to help them?”.
But the more I stepped into listening for that Voice (the one I talk about in my book) - HIS Voice, the more realized it was never about me at all.
It was about WHO HE IS.
And what does that Voice say about NEW things?
Isaiah 43:19 states “BEHOLD! I am doing a NEW thing! Now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert!"
What VOICE are you going to listen to?
The voice of the past? Or the Voice of the Creator of the Heavens & Earth who promises that in the event of PAIN He will cause something NEW to be born!!
Friend if you’re like me, and you’ve had to overcome a LOT in your journey I get it.
But the more I chose to focus on the NEW, run to the NEW, take action on the NEW, get training and accountability to keep me moving FORWARD amidst the NEW…it all started to dynamically change.
Did you hear that?
Are you ready to move OUT of the past? You can’t change it. You can’t change what happened to you. Just like I can't.
Today is a NEW day, and if you’re ready to run at the NEW, and move forward in the NEW…send me a message! I would love to RUN WITH YOU!!
Now being a coach with the BEST FREAKING COMPANY on the planet - Destiny Global, LLC - come on now, have you seen the results of not only my story but so many friends I know?! That’s precisely what we’re doing.
We’re running at the NEW, and wow is it exciting! And that Voice He is amidst it. He is making all things…NEW.
