Ever noticed how your stories get shorter with time? I mean, the stories that at one point were "long and complicated" seem to just simplify as you heal and mature. Where once, it took painstaking caution and restraint to convey a grievous or emotional situation, it can now be summed up in a few succinct words or phrases. "God gave me strength." "I am so glad I'm over that one." "I learned a valuable lesson..."

He really does give us beauty for ashes. My feeble offering of pain is transformed into a beautiful crown of strength.
