This has been a difficult, sobering week for me. This has been the week that my relationship with Lane came to official end. It has been a week of deep contemplation in several areas of my life. I inadvertently hurt someone I loved and cared about, and to an extent still love and care about.
Through the entire week, there’s been something of which I am most grateful. I’m grateful for the friends who have been there for me with their words of encouragement, their amazing love and support. I’m constantly amazed at just how greatly I’ve been blessed in the last several months. There are people in my life right now who feel to me as though they’ve been there my entire life. It’s a really good feeling knowing that I have such a good group of brothers who care about me.
I’m grateful for the blessing of music in my life. I love singing with the men’s chorus, and I absolutely love accompanying my church group. I continue to grow as a vocalist and accompanist and it’s these things that bring me peace and joy in life.
There are frustrations in my life. But, it wouldn’t be life if everything were perfect. I wish that I didn’t have any debt, I wish the house would sell, I wish that I had just a couple of days that I could push the pause button on life and get everything together, but that’s not how life works. It’s one day, one second, one moment at a time. That’s how we grow and how lessons come our way.
Here’s my confession: Invariably, it is the ones you love who you are going to hurt the most. I’ve learned this lesson the hard way this week, mainly because I was not upfront with my feelings and emotions. I am grateful for the growth that has come my way. I’m grateful for the many lessons learned, and I’m in deep contrition for the ways in which I didn’t handle situations properly.
I’m still very much a work in progress. But, I’m most grateful for the blessing of each new day I am given, and for the ones who walk so faithfully with me on the journey.
