My journey
Dear 12 Year Old Maddi,
You've come so far. The broken unbeliever you are now will become a strong, faithful women of God in just a few years. Right now life is really hard. I know you got hit with some unexpected circumstances but things will get better. I promise. I know that you're disappointed in yourself because you promised you'd never be the one with secrets in your sleeves. But those scars are the very building block of your testimony. Life seems like it's not worth living, but just because it's hard now doesn't mean it will be hard forever. It does get easier. That doesn't mean the pain will fade, but it gets easier to bear. You will find new coping methods. Right now, you don't talk, I know you're too scared to say the wrong thing, so you lose your voice. You will gain that back. Now, your insecurities no longer have control of your life and you're growing everyday. I'm so proud of how strong you stayed when the world fell apart. I know how many times you wanted to slip away but I'm so glad you stayed. This struggle you're going through has meaning and purpose. It made you stronger. And the years of recovery, they're worth it too. You have a life ahead of you. You made it. You broke the addiction and you're free. Keep moving, keep on keeping on. Life is 100% worth it. Sincerely, Present Day Maddi (12/15/16)
