First of all…just WOW.

Second, long comments are always welcome, friend! Your words bring so much hope…hope that is so desperately needed in this heart right now. In many ways, God has already begun restoring, but I sometimes feel like there’s so far to go still…but He’s good. And we always need to cling to that. Thank you so much for stopping by this space, for leaving some love, and reminding me of the Hope that is always there. You are a gift to this community…and I’m looking forward to reconnecting with y’all tonight at FMF! It’s been way too long, and I miss you. (((hugs)))

Before I even start this comment I can promise it will be long. Bare with me? Dang girl. If only we could grab coffee because this so speaks to my heart and my story and I so wish I could tell it all to you right here! “Restore” has been a word long on my heart, really ever since everything fell apart four and a half years ago. I could see healing in myself and in my own heart, I could even see reconciliation in little patches around the surface, and inside I felt restored in Him. But the relationship? No, there was no “restoring” there. All you said about going back home, eyes brimming with tears and not wanting to go back, yet wanting to want to…that has been me for longer than I can remember. This stopped being my home years ago, while I still lived here even. And I have prayed and believed and hoped and begged and cried and pleaded. I have waited more than I could express in words. And thought I haven’t shared the story (soon, though!) online, God has done a HUGE work the past three months. That old friendship has been restored and after four years I was excited to come home. I haven’t shared because I don’t know how to put a miracle into words and I don’t want to not do it justice. He is only good and just as good as He was before. But I say all this to say don’t give up hope even when you can’t see even a pinprick of light. And then this: I got to “easier to live broken than to live restored” and immediately thought “Oh! I must leave in the comments my verse!” and then I scrolled down and my hands literally flew in the air and I said “shut up. shut up!” out loud. Because Isaiah 43:18-19 have been my verses throughout all of this. When I IG’d the verse a little bit ago, it was the result of a broken relationship being restored, finally seeing that yes He had been doing a NEW thing in me all along but it was finally His timing to do a NEW thing in us. I’ve written a novel, I know, but just keep holding onto Hope, Mel. He isn’t finished yet.

I’ll be praying for you! Thank you for your courage to share the hard stuff. My husband and I have really been struggling, as a result of his over 3 years of unemployment and our severe strain on finances. I have so many regrets but don’t want to look back. We need to keep moving forward. One of my goals this year is to write those things that cause me to shudder. Thank you for your honesty.

I love that…probably the hardest thing for me has been to be willing and trust that He is able. Thank you for that encouragement. Your prayers mean so much, my friend…thank you. And thanks for the hug, too…sending one right back to you! {And I really hope there’s another (in)RL one soon, too!}

Oh, how well I understand that word, survive…I feel like most of last year was spent doing just that. There was something so redemptive to me about the word, restore…so life-giving, so promise-filled. My expectations for this year are high, but I also serve a BIG God! One Who can and WILL heal. And, absolutely…you can write me anytime! I will warn you that it usually takes a few days for me to reply, but I will get back to you! Sending you a hug tonight, friend.
