Who knew that the past five months would be the happiest of my life? Seeking God has brought me a joy and peace I have never experienced before. The pain and heartache I once endured feel like a distant memory. Since I left, I\u2019ve experienced a joy that\u2019s unexplainable, and I\u2019m so grateful to God for giving me the courage to face these months with confidence and strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God has truly been my strength. He has restored my peace and joy and is slowly working on restoring my confidence. I don\u2019t know how to put into words how I\u2019m feeling right now. I\u2019m sharing this because it\u2019s raw and real\u2014this is my present reality. I believe I am healing, step by step, and where I was five months ago, all I could see was darkness, pain, and struggle. But now, I can confidently testify that God has carried me through it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The friendships He has brought into my life during this season have been nothing short of divine. Their wisdom feels ancient and unmatched\u2014like the kind the Bible talks about when it says to seek the ancient ways and choose the path of our forefathers. I feel as though I\u2019ve been at a crossroads, and now I\u2019ve chosen the ancient path, one that fills me with peace and purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I feel like the prodigal son, returning to my Father\u2019s embrace. He came running after me, clothed me in His love, and gave me His signet ring, welcoming me home with open arms. My heart is overwhelmed by His love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the life God always intended for me, but I had lost my way. Now, I am ever praising, ever worshiping, and living in His presence. It\u2019s a life full of joy, love, and peace that only God can give\u2014a peace that no one can take away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I thank God for this moment, for this season, for this happiness. I pray that this feeling never ends. May you all be blessed, my dear friends, and may you experience the restoration and peace of God in your lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
