Life in Pictures

The first time I heard Harmony say this, I was like “WHEW CHILE!” It rang so true - how many times I had tried to reconcile, or stay in relationship, with people who were still unsafe, and unwilling to change. It did more harm to my heart than good. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I also thought of the times in my life where I struggled to change, either because I didn’t have the practical tools to grow, or because of my stubbornness or pride. I’ve been unsafe in relationships, used my words in all the wrong ways, had to apologize and try to make it right. Then, allow God to do a new work in my life, while I also do the hard work required to change. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Thriving relationships require recovery, so we can learn how to communicate, choose integrity, share our struggles, show up for others (and allow them to show up for us - which can be humbling for sure), celebrate (also tough, for so many of us), serve and be generous. ⁣
⁣⁣
Some seasons, this is easier than others, because life happens. ⁣
⁣
We’re all a work in progress, and transformation is a life long journey. Every person alive has character flaws, issues, problems and pain, so don’t let the highlight reels fool ya. It’s hard out here for the humans. But it’s so incredibly beautiful, and worth it all, too. ⁣⁣ When you’re supposed to be cleaning up, but you’re laying down instead. (This is me right now, with a sink full of dishes, and a toilet that needs cleaning, by the way.)
