Hurting Healing Happy

I realized today that even though I am hurting, Jesus is healing me and I am happy.  This past weekend I had a wonderful time at my sister’s 50th birthday bash.  My children and my niece were talking about the difference they saw in me and were very happy to see me enjoying  myself.

I realized I feel different.  I wasn’t concerned so much about everyone else and I wasn’t putting everyone else before myself the entire time.   I actually thought about me 1st for a change and it felt good.  Just because you have been hurt and you have to take time to heal doesn’t mean you can’t be happy.

Life is too short and Jesus says you have not because you ask not.  It only takes faith the size of a mustard see so happiness is right in front of you, just tap into it while you are going through your healing process.

This is my rehabilitation time to restore me to the happy, active and joyous person I used to be and into the person I was meant to be.  I read a scripture that states “A time to weep and a time to laugh; A time to mourn and a time to dance” Ecclesiastes 3:4.  I thank Jesus for those times because I danced my butt off this past weekend and it felt great.

Now my niece is talking about going dirt bike riding or horse back riding next month.  I told her I’m all in, it’s time to stop living with regret and what if and time to enjoy my life.

A BRAND NEW KIND OF ME
