It's astonishing that it can take one scenario to change your path forever. What I had envisioned and desired for my entire life, God had other plans. I was used to living in a shadow that I might have casted upon myself. Growing up and attending public school my older sister of three years: she graduated as the valedictorian and a literal poster child. She was the book brains that I compared myself and felt like I had to live up to, knowing that I never could. Books were a challenge for me because I am mildly dyslexic. For the longest time, I allowed the shadow to underestimate myself. I graduated as salutatorian from a tiny private school always pretending to be okay with being second best. I am forever changed because of what transpired when I said, "I do" to a man under the impression I was becoming his second wife. Everything that I had wanted for my entire life blew up in less than a year. I lived through turmoil and at times thought I was alone but I realize I was never without Gods armor. His army of angels were there to protect me. I believe after all my battles, my shadow lifted. I am just now discovering Gods divine plan for my life. I can't rescue the ones before me, but I hope to shield the future. I hope by sharing my experience it will not only shed light but help others know they are not alone. They too are going to be better than okay.
