As I view this picture from my wedding day of my tears of joy these lyrics come to mind,
"We've come this far by faith.
Leaning on the Lord
Trusting in His holy word
He's never failed me yet."
Everything that I have gone through, every mistake I've made, every mountain I've climbed, God still sees me! He still hears my cry, and He continues to give me the desires of my heart. The strength that I had to start my healing process from my past was from Him. The courage that I had to allow someone to hold my heart and the faith that I had to trust that God sent this man for me all came from my healing process. Here I was stepping into a new season. The season of forever. The season of marriage. God had sent me a man who allowed me to be soft and vulnerable. He sent me a man who made me feel safe and showed me what being in a healthy relationship was like. On top of all of that, He sent me a man that held my hand and held me accountable when it came to the word of God. If I had not allowed myself to step into the process of healing my soul, would I have reaped such a blessing as this? Would I have been able to give my all once again and trust that this man wouldn't hurt me? Who knows! All I know is, healing is essential, and there are benefits that you will reap once you step out on your healing journey. Are you ready?
