OMG. . .In So Many Ways

Looking back. Moving forward.

Sometimes it takes looking back to know you are going to be okay.. To recall the challenges.

The difficult times. Sad times. When you said "Really, God? How will this work out?"

Looking back. But then you realize you are still standing. Still moving forward.

Like dancing at the Plaza. My friend said, "Yes it was a year ago that he diedl"

"Oh my goodness, then it was a year ago our ordeal began"

OMG. . .In So Many Ways. Looking back. It's what assures me.

What seemed insurmountable. What appeared beyond solving What kept me from sleeping. Is now only a memory. A "how am I going to fix this" memory. A "life as I know it is over" memory.

I'm looking in the rear view mirror. The mirror is like a magnifying glass. But I'm not there anymore. The ordeal has faded. The all-encompassing problem has been fixed - and not by me.

By God. . .Jesus. . .the Holy Spirit - whatever, whomever you wish to name this force that is a miracle.

Really? All that happened a year ago? And now I'm dancing at the Plaza. Enjoying a warm summer night. Laughter with friends. Looking back. A lot of loss. But not alone.

OMG. . .In So Many Ways. . .Looking back. And ALWAYS moving forward.
