Grace carried me through storms I never thought I would survive
Today I pause and look at how far I have come.
There were moments when life felt out of my control,
moments when the storms were louder than my hope.
But even then, God never left me.
Even at rock bottom, grace was still holding me.
The pain I once carried has slowly turned into wisdom.
The trauma that tried to break me helped shape the strength I now stand in.
Peace and happiness once felt far away,
but today I see the evidence of growth.
I am not where I used to be.
That alone is a victory.
Today I release self-criticism and choose gratitude for my progress.
Surviving is a victory.
Healing is a victory.
Learning boundaries is a victory.
Beginning again is a victory.
As I move into this new week,
I walk forward with confidence and peace,
trusting the flow of the path that grace continues to guide.
Love and light to all… and so it is.
