Taking Many Steps


I started writing this blog because I am an extravert and need to get things out, look at them, move them around and well I guess then deal with them or attempt to. I have taken more steps to healing in the past three years, yes it has been three years since Aaron left. We were separated longer than we were married and now divorced since Sept. 6, 2007. But I found in making those steps and seeking healing, there was more to my brokenness than a second failed marriage that only lasted 22 months. I took many steps, not all of them in a forward motion. Not all of them as productive as others. The majority of them a learning experience, good and bad. But at least I was taking steps, even if they went forward, backward, sideways. I was taking steps to live life, not just an existance. I was seeking healing. I was seeking to stop the family dysfunction. I found myself seeking a relationship with Jesus Christ and that is where the healing began, that is when family was redefined, that is how the steps became less chaotic and more productive. I started taking steps with Jesus.
