REMOVING NEGATIVITY

AMEN!

Sometimes it takes LOSING something you held dear,

To appreciate something NEW.

Toxic environments are a REAL thing.

If you’d asked me a year ago,

I would of said NO way,

That can’t happen!

But TODAY?

I’m understanding that when you remove yourself from toxicity,

Your life actually blossoms!?

A weight of shame lifts,

Your confidence soars,

And you aren’t triggered from your past Traumatic experiences.

I’m also realizing that places AND people,

CAN actually cause you to backslide into Eating Disorder behaviors,

Depression,

Addiction,

Guilt,

Shame,

And,

Insecurities.

Yep, it’s TRUE.

Why?

Because I lived it,

And AM living it!

For the past few years,

I THOUGHT I was in the right place.

Surrounding myself with people who I THOUGHT had my best interest in mind.

It wasn’t until God whispered even LOUDER,

That I understood WHAT He was trying to tell me!?

You see,

He kept putting a phrase in my ear,

AND on my heart,

And I chose to ignore it!?!

He was TRYING to warn me,

But I thought I knew best.

Man, I am SO stubborn at times!

I was so enamored,

And lost in my own search for acceptance,

That I COULDN’T see what was right in front of me.

The wool was pulled over my eyes,

And then removed,

After what I thought was a tragic event.

I can see NOW,

That it WASN’T!

You know that saying,

“Everything happens for a reason?”

It’s TRUE.

Especially when GOD is the Mastermind!

Sometimes,

It doesn’t make sense,

And it’s painful.

But,

When you’re able to look back and be grateful?

That’s when you KNOW you’ve made the right decision,

And can actually comprehend WHAT God has been protecting you FROM….

THAT’S when your life can TRULY begin! 💗
