To say that it was ugly and messy is an understatement. I was absolutely lost and miserable. Nevertheless, it was exactly what I needed to wake up and find my way back home. I’m still not sure how I allowed myself to get distracted from the road that I was on. After all, I considered myself to be disciplined and determined. Yet, I found myself lost on a path that I never intended to travel.
Sometimes grace can best be described as a pie in the face. It has a tendency to show up in a way that is uncomfortable, and yet still be sweet. Had grace not woken me as abruptly as it did, perhaps I’d still be lost on a road leading towards misery.

Perhaps you find yourself on a detour. Perhaps like me, you’ve woken up to the sad reality that you made a mess of life and you don’t know where to turn. Friend, if that is you, please don’t walk this journey alone. Message me, let’s set up a time to chat. I’d love to create a safe space for you to have the freedom to dream and start moving forward again.

Amen, and that forty years in the desert may seem like wandering until you get to God’s oasis and look back at all you learned.
