Protect Your Peace

Over the past two and a half years, there has been a lot of disappointment and an immense amount of pain. One of the hardest lessons I have learned is that life will never be what you think it should be after tragedy. Tragedy has a way of bringing out each other’s strengths and each other’s weaknesses. I realize now other people’s actions are not for my own understanding nor is it my responsibility to dissect their intentions. After all, God made us all different. What I do understand, is that silence is powerful. Sometimes saying nothing is far more impactful than a confrontation. Sometimes walking away is necessary. If it costs you your peace, it’s too expensive. When your circumstance isn’t what you hoped for, let me leave you with this: Let your suffering be your seeds and let your trauma be your testimony. Every trial has a purpose and I can promise you there is beauty from ashes. And don’t ever forget: protect your peace with all your heart.
