It's not easy when I reflect on the last 5 years. Some things, no, lots of things are just now dawning on me, things that I was too out of it to comprehend at the time, or it would have been too painful to acknowledge at the time, when there was nothing I could do about it. I guess you could say I have been in denial about some things. But our defense mechanisms are there for a reason. Sometimes you need the fluffy insulation to protect you. Some things need to be mentally digested over a period of time.

Here in my Promised Land (it's a state of mind, btw), things are real. Love is spoken, and Truth is walked in. Prayers are offered up that are drenched in praise and thanksgiving. Words of consideration and respect are shared here. Here in my Promised Land, I am valued, and I know it. No false lip-service here. I care, and am cared for.

The promises of God are real, and they will come to pass if we wait on His leading and trust His timing.
