Go Through It to Grow Through It

You have tried going around it — staying busy, staying quiet, staying strong. But grief, truth, and change do not offer a detour. You go through it to grow through it: the tears on the page, the conversation you keep postponing, the honest night when you finally say what hurt. It is all for your highest good — not because the pain was good, but because God does not waste a passage. The woman on the other side of this is not lucky. She is built.

PRACTICE — Name the thing you keep circling instead of crossing. Write one small step that takes you through — a page, a call, a cry, a prayer — and give it a time today.

Today's affirmation: “I go through it to grow through it — and I do not walk the passage alone.”
