Letting Go of the Old. Allow Yourself to Bloom
Allow yourself to bloom in this new season.
There’s no need to cling to the old.
Surrender can be beautiful.
We just took our fourth trip to TX and I can honestly say that my first trip in 2019 was the beginning of a major wake up call for me. I got a corneal ulcer while at a deserted ranch in the Texas hill country and had to ride 7 hours back to Houston in pain, just to get to urgent care and be driven by ambulance to the hospital. The technician scraped my eye with a scalpel and then gave me some drops. The flight home was a blur- literally 🙈 And two days later, I was riding to a specialist in Greenville, SC who told me I was 2 hours away from losing my eye. She informed me that they gave me the wrong eye drops in Houston so they weren’t doing anything to help. She also told me I would never wear contacts again and would have tremendous scar tissue on my cornea. I refused to accept this as my truth. This was the beginning of a long journey of me defying the odds. I had to dig down deep, stand my ground that my vision would be better than it was before the Texas trip. Two months later, I was being fitted for contacts and my vision was 100% improved and still is better than it was before 2019.
One year later, I herniated my L4/L5 and L5/S1 and my dr told me I had one option: neurosurgery. I respectfully said F you, you don’t know me. Again, another journey to healing that created who I am today.
I’m stronger. I’m not easily shaken. I love myself without condition. I no longer believe that my needs are a problem or a burden. I speak up for myself.
And since starting this candida cleanse, I have let SO much 💩 go. I surrender every morning to Jesus and to this cleanse so that I don’t start the day fighting it.
I knew our 2022 Texas trip was coming up and I stressed so much until my mom said Katie, this is a chance for you to get out of your comfort zone and have some fun. Duh! I changed my mind about this trip while on this cleanse and EVERYTHING changed. God has gone before me and placed people in my path who have supported and blessed me and I’m over here completely humbled and grateful.
I was trying to plan juicing and being on the road and I made the cleanse a much bigger hassle than it is. When I let it all go, I instantly felt a sense of excitement about this trip. Texas is one of my top 3 favorite states- and the untamed hill country absolutely lights my soul on fire. 🔥 So to be back here with my boys and getting to experience daily green juices and the most healing foods on earth… a double blessing.
Whatever your situation is, remember, what’s inside of you is what creates the happenings on the outside.
Surrendering and trusting Jesus has never failed me and it never will.
And just like these flowers, we have so much beauty within that is just waiting to be of service… if we will just allow ourselves to bloom 🌸
