Redefining Relationships

Image
  There is something both beautiful and uncomfortable about healing. As we heal, we change. Our perspectives change. Our priorities change. Our capacity changes. Our boundaries change. And when we change, our relationships are often forced to change as well. Lately, I have found myself redefining nearly every relationship in my life. Not because I love people less, but because I am no longer the person I used to be. The version of me that operated from survival mode is fading away. The version of me that said yes when I wanted to say no. The version of me that overextended herself. The version of me that carried responsibilities that were never hers to carry. The version of me that gave from obligation instead of intention. She is no longer here. What remains is someone who is learning to honor her energy, protect her peace, and steward what God has entrusted to her. Sometimes that means setting boundaries.

Obstacles Are Temporary



 Im sure you know how it feels to wonder what is going on like life was testing you, throwing up obstacles when you are taking steps to move forward? Whether it's people or unexpected hurdles trying to block your progress and make you question your journey, we’ve all been there.

Some time ago I took a road trip with my sister, and we encountered a situation on the highway that perfectly mirrored life’s obstacles. There was traffic, and some drivers started using the side lane to move ahead. But there was one trucker who decided to block everyone trying to pass, thinking he was stopping them from getting ahead. But in reality, all he did was stop people from exiting the highway, forcing them to get stuck in the same traffic he was. After causing all that frustration, he drove off like nothing had happened.

It’s a lot like life, don't you think? Some people will block your path, try to stop you or create obstacles to keep you from moving forward, and sometimes, they do it out of spite, selfishness, fear, or insecurity. They might not even realize the impact of their actions, or worse, they don’t care.

There is a real lesson here and its simple: no matter what people do or how hard they try to block you, there is always a way to move forward. Don’t let their actions stop you.. There is always a way for you, there may be a side lane, a detour, or a different route that brings you closer to where you need to be. It might not be the easy or direct way, but the important thing is to keep going, even when the road seems blocked.

Remember you don’t have control over other people’s actions, but you do have control over you and how you respond. Don’t let the attempts of others’ stop you or be the reason you don’t reach your destination. Keep moving, stay focused, and remember—most times the roadblocks are temporary or possibly even a test.
