No hurt too big heaven can't heal

I can't believe it has been over a year since my heart was broken. For a while, I felt like I would never heal. Every time a song came on the radio about relationships or something came on TV or a movie I was watching, I was a wreck. But I noticed something today. A CD was playing in my car and a couple of the songs were about broken relationships and I didn't cry. They didn't even really bother me. Before I would skip through those songs or cry my eyes out. But today I didn't. And then I thought, when did I heal? 

Between the business of working with kids, the sweet smiles and their little hands tugging on mine, hanging with friends and searching for a new church home, somewhere along the line my heart has actually started to heal. I have made a new friend who encouraged me to pick my writing back up and I am so incredibly happy. I have no idea what will happen this year, but I am excited to know that God does have great plans for me. And there is no hurt too big that heaven can't heal.

Heaven has reached down to me and met me in the face of my uncertainty and loss. Christ has opened my heart back up to the possibility of loving someone and being loved in return. I hardly ever cry about what happened a little over a year ago now. I have my doubts about my future sometimes, but I have such a peace knowing that the God who holds it all in His hands has my best interests at heart. He only wants the very best for me and so I will wait until He brings it to me. He may have already brought some of the very best to me. I am praying and waiting to see what He will reveal. As He places people in my path, opportunities along the way, I will ever seek His guidance and praise Him.

I praise Him for bringing me to this place where I can think of someone else now and smile instead of thinking of the one who broke my heart and crying. All things happen for a reason and I know the Lord has used my heartache to draw me closer to Him. I look forward to what He has in store for me.
