It’s All a Gift: How Gratitude Gave Me Peace and Closure

Spread the love

Over the last few weeks I’ve stepped into a deeper gratitude than I’ve ever known. In the process I’ve come to see everything I’m going through as a gift — everything I had and everything that’s been taken away. Today I had a poignant experience that helped me find closure.

I had the chance to tell my husband in person that everything is okay, that I hold no ill will and that it’s all been a gift.

It was the most liberating, peaceful experience. I don’t know that it meant all that much to him, but I came away amazed that God has brought me to this place where I can let it all go. I started this journey two months and 10 days ago and here I am, seeing it all as a gift. This is not me. This is God.

I have no idea what the future holds for me. Currently I have no home. As of last week, my car is toast. I’m keeping my dad company and he lets me use his car. I’m most grateful to have access to. This summer I have one way tickets to Utah with my boys. We’ll stay at least a month and see how it goes from there. I’m going wherever the doors open for me, wherever the Spirit leads. I’ll be staying with friends and family.

I’ll be conducting some events and also doing some in-person consults and get-it-done-days with people who are ready to amp up their online businesses.

It’s an intriguing way to live… without baggage (well sure, I’ll take a suitcase). Wherever God is leading me, He obviously wants me going there without any emotional baggage and very little physical baggage. It will be an exciting adventure and I’m very, very curious to see where this all leads. I’m trusting it’s somewhere great.

I’m doing a 90 Day Light the World Build the Kingdom Challenge and here’s how the third day of the challenge led me to finding this closure, peace and gratitude.
