Day 57


I would argue that every girl has a little Columbiana in her.

A deep past hurt that keeps her unsatisfied in future relationships.  A hurt that haunts her.

The next time I step into a relationship, I vow to be in a place where I can love that man with all of me.  I will not bring my past into our future.  I will not blame my husband for hurts of other men.  I will not take out my pain on him.

I promise that I will be in a place where I am centered on God’s love, grace, and forgiveness, and find my identity in Him and Him alone.  I will not spend my life hunting the ghosts of my past.  My future deserves so much more than that.

Good-bye, Columbiana.  Here's to healing.
