I have to say my eyes got a bit misty eyed when he said those words. I try to look at my journey as the norm, but he said "When I look at you I am amazed at how far you have come in life." I knew exactly what he meant, and how he meant it. No one may never know the full story, but he knows a super huge chunk of it. He was part of the inner circle. He's seen the ups, downs, and the worst of it for the most part.
To hear him say it was a reminder from GOD to me. As I tried to wipe away the tears that were forming in my eyes I said "Ok GOD I get it...it's not about me! My story you're glory"
Seems like that's what he has been trying to teach me these past couple of weeks over and over again. The this morning I took a look back, and I saw how much I have traveled on this road. I saw how much he cleared off my plate that I thought I couldn't get over, but somehow it's gone. There's clarity and freedom there so I looked forward. I know that there is a little but more that he has to clean off, and I know once he does clean it off there is not stopping me. Funny....few months ago there was no way out...seems like I was stuck, but then all I had to look was look back just a little
