Turning around and not looking back
It's time to start over. New journal, new determination, new attitude, and so hopefully new writings. I will not let depression, anger, and stress take over my life. It's time to break that pattern and cycle...I know this isn't going to be a one time miracle...although it might be if God is willing...However, this is my first step to saying that I will not be bound by my past. I am not bound by the chains of my old self. I am a new creation (however in process that might be...)...but the one thing I know for sure. I refuse to go in circles like that...I am willing with all of my heart to break this holding pattern and hold onto my God with all that I have. For who else can get me through this? Whom do I have but You? Enough is enough. I am tempted to berate myself for being so self-absorbed but I'm not going to. What has happened has already happened. I can change nothing about my past, but I have a choice about my future...and I will give it wholly and fully over to the King of Kings, the God of all creation. He is life. He is hope. And He is love. I've had enough. I want a clean slate and I'm not looking back.

yay Jess!!! I'm so happy that we were able to talk and that you are putting the past behind you. sometimes it's the hardest thing to do, but making that initial decision to do so is huge and God will help you every step of the way!!!! It's so freeing and allows us to go in the direction of His plans without having anything hold us back. Praise God! :)
