I have words… Its Mental Health Day! This day 3 years ago my husband left. Technically he was pronounced on 10/11 but I believe our sovereign God allowed him to transition on that Sunday in the ER.
I was today years old… when i realized that these days coincided. My initial thoughts were to speak about how my grief was the catalyst to my wellness journey that started with me taking ownership of my mental health.
Grace, Glory & Triumph
Something that is true about my story, God has overlapped every milestone with grace, glory and triumph. There are not challenging parts of my story that are not encapsulated in a beautiful climax.
So being that today is Mental Health Day, i want to appreciate God for snatching the rug from up under me when he did! :-P
I would like still have been .....
Cozied up
Unaware
Overworking
People pleasing
Self sacrificing
Drained
Out of place
Making religious excuses
Its amazing to find your new place solely because the absence of another makes you go back to God about your next place.
Growing through grief made me check on my mental health.
Moments of feeling like I could implode because my processes had nowhere to land.....
Realizing that I had arrived at this place with no tools.... a perfection in a test she wasnt equipped to win.
The only thing I knew to do was go to the gym… I would literally wake up and walk out of my house to the gym. Yes I put on appropriate clothes for the gym, but there was no extra prep.
What's amazing is that I had the most ideas, downloads, written plans, dreams and more.
Dreams and ideas to change the world for the community, veterans, children, those with impaired mobility and more
My mind was different yet full of fresh hope and ideas to impact others.
Mental Health Day reminds me of when my world exploding with a new beautiful wonder.
Mental health Day reminds me that intentionality is required to manage mental health.
Mental health day reminds me that even though he left, my life got better!
The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the Lord Almighty.” Haggai 2:9
Widowhood and wellness are the biggest plot twist and i'm eternally grateful for my grief.
Remember life can be hard and your journey can hurt, but commit to heal so your story can help!
