I hate the things I can’t control and I have resisted having faith in God for a long time.
I will never forget the day sitting outside Victoria Hospital and saying, “ there is no God because a God would never create kids with cystinosis.” It was almost 7 years ago when I made that statement and I’m finally letting go of my control. I’m finally letting go of fear and grasping onto love.
I have grown through a lot and my conclusion is we are like onions and it’s about peeling off the layers and feeling the sting in our eyes. Life truly is about breaking down the walls we spent a lifetime building to protect us.
I believe we are here for love and connection and the walls we have all built to protect us from hurt and pain is what’s stopping us from truly connecting. We live in a sorrowful world kids die, people starve, children are sick, men and women are abused, we judge, families fall apart, crime and all the other things that separate us. Our world needs more love, connection and faith. We all have the same choice every day, will we choose love or fear?
I know every day is going to be a challenge but I am going to commit to choosing love ❤️
