A Healed Hidden Scar

Driving home tonight from a Revival service…

I asked God to open my eyes to my heart and BAM he revealed something to me that has been hidden for probably 8+ years and man was it powerful. The instant God revealed it, I relived my life and emotions in about 10sec and it hit me like a ton of bricks and brought me to tears… I know real great while driving right? Haha.

I had a best friend who I held so high on a pedestal in my life.

I did not even realize it at the time. We had become friends as soon as I started going to this then “new church” to me. So we had been friends for a good amount of years, then we had a “falling out” Junior/Senior year of High School. Completely stopped talking to each other and stop being friends. When we stopped talking, I lost this friend and also their family who had become “my” family. See my Mom and Dad divorced in 2000 or so. Then my brother and mom got into a terrible car/semi accident and by the grace of God they both survived. So I had already been through a TON of stuff that a child should not have to go through.

So you can imagine when I lost my friend and my “second” family – who was loving, caring, put together and who spoke life and fun into my life – how hurt I was.

The scar on my heart was so deep that I did not even know it was there.

BUT GOD HAD A PLAN…

I had kept this goofy card that this friend had given me – it is one of the best cards I have ever received in my life. I would re-read this card, use it as a bookmark and would let it remind me to pray for her. Man did I ever pray… I wanted to throw that thing away so many times because of the reminder it gave me, but God would not let me.

HE had a different plan.

Instead he had us going through very similar situations and 4 years later we would meet up and spill our guts and laugh about how in the world we ended up where we were. And now… another 4 years later we have been able to hang out, talk about life and laugh.

Just when you think you have lost Hope God keeps that card in your sight just remind you that the Best Is Yet To Come. I am so blessed to have this friend back in my life. She has been such a blessing throughout the Good and the Bad times.

That scar that was left on my heart – due to my own emotional pedestal has now been healed.

My God is Revealing Love in so many ways.
