Lemons

It has been a while since I have written here. I have moved…again.. to a town where pictures of lemons are all around. I have moved into an area where I am literally right in the middle of the oldest part of town. I can see a huge lemon that was on a float many years ago.

The whole saying of making lemonade out of lemons seems to apply. There have been many sour things in my life the past few years, but especially the last year. I need to make the most of it. Of all of it! God planted me here for at least a year. That is what the lease says and what I agreed to. I am going to make the most of my time here. This is my fresh start. I can redefine who God intended for me to be before poor choices and bad decisions took place.

I am in the process of healing, a journey that can take a long time. The stress i am under makes me feel very lacking in a lot of areas. But God is with me and I have repeatedly asked Him to break down all the depths of the hurt I have experienced. I want my heart to be clean and free to serve Him and give my all to Him. I can only hope and pray that He uses every interaction for his glory and brings me to a place of healing. I will have lemonade. My life will be an example of grace and mercy. As that is what God has gifted me.
