I woke in Chicago this morning to a beautiful sunrise and the view of the city from the huge bay windows of my brothers 23rd story apartment. The thing that caught my attention this morning were the waves of lake Michigan wiping the beach. I had the vision of my self being wiped by the waves and that this is the beginning of a freshness for me, not that I believe there won’t be struggles, but I see the freshness of each day and how I can only make a difference in what happens from here on out. I haven’t shared much with many but my 10 year marriage has come to an end. It has been a very painful transition with a long way to go but I know that everything happens for a reason and that there is a plan for me. I know that I will not be held back from reaching others and that I will find my own strength. I was in a pretty dark place for a few days but I had a dear man come from Boise and pray with me on Wednesday, he prayed with me in the hospital in November and shared with me that the Dr’s told him that they didn’t think I would leave the hospital back then, but I did! Then flew here on Thursday. I feel made new since then and am optimistic about my future.
