Day 4 We all have down moments, maybe even down days that stretch into down seasons. I remember when I had the last of my four miscarriages. I had lost four babies in a row and I was lost in every way imaginable. I was broken spiritually, physically, mentally and I gave up my full-time well-paying prestigious position that I had worked so hard to attain. Nothing made sense in my life and I found myself in a very dark place and the most I could muster was to go through the motions for the sake of my one living child at the time. To say I was depressed was a massive understatement. I was disappointed, grieving, angry and fearful for my future. But, God never wastes a hurt. In utter desperation I called out to Him and He reminded me that He is ever present and always on my side. he began to switch my focus from what I had lost to what I still had. He told me to make my life count, to use my pain to make difference in the world. Without realizing it, I began each day forcing myself to be thankful for what I did have. I took up gardening again. I began to write and to share my newfound hope with the world. And that led me to where I am today, a life coach, a conduit for purpose and joy and healing. Today, I encourage you to take a moment or two to observe your scars, to feel your aches and pains, to acknowledge those dashed dreams AND then I encourage you to find the reasons to be grateful for them, yes everything that has hurt you, find the good in them. And as you do, I guarantee you that over time, your darkest hours will be the ones that give you the most clarity about your purpose. Today, I am grateful for my journey through hell.
