"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." Maya Angelou

There is something I have been struggling with for quite some time. No need to get into the details of it just something I haven’t been able to kick. I’d surrender, then take it back, and then re-surrender—it was a vicious cycle. I’d pray and ask God for forgiveness tell Him I’d never do it again and then do it again. At best, I reduced the frequency of the infraction, but I never stopped; there is a difference between stopping and reducing. If a liar lies less but still lies, he or she is still a liar. If a person steals less but still steals, he or she is still a thief. If a person is a habitual cheater but cheats less, he or she is still a cheater. You get the point.

There is nothing more uplifting than a conversation with an older woman. One who is sage, believing, enduring, and nurturing. One who has been through it and come out clean on the other side. I am so grateful to all the older mentoring women in my life. They bring perspective that my youth does not yet know. They say things like, “hold on,” “wait on the Lord,” and “be patient.” God’s word is filled with encouraging words, wise instruction, and tools for how to navigate life itself. As I read my bible, I see God come through again and again and again. He does not fail.
