His Promise to me was

When it is all said and done, it’s going to be beautiful.

and he did not lie.

At first, I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do or even what I was doing. I just knew I needed to trust God and let him lead. He did. He showed me a lot in between too.

There were moments that I wondered if I was just going in one big circle again. In those moments he would send me a message and I understood it, keep going.

You have to water the new you to grow

All I knew was that I was different and not necessarily in a good way. It took me a while to realize that God made me this way on purpose. God doesn’t make mistakes and he is the King of creativity. He created everything!

All the details are in the things he has given us, the ideas he gives us, and the way he made us. Knowing that made me lose interest in what people said or thought of me. All of a sudden all that mattered was that it was what God thought.

Accepting that truth was the seed that I needed to grow in confidence. I grew confident in areas that I use to feel so insecure in. I began to shake things off and I became unshakable in people’s opinions. I was only interested now in God’s version of me and who he said I was.

That is the place where I rooted myself in and I began to grow. I watered myself spending time in his word. In getting to know him better, I got to know myself better. It took a while before I began to grow visible branches. I had been underground for so long (it felt like). But when I sprouted, it was beautiful. I grew thick, beautiful, vibrant leaves.

Blooming

After leaves (and more time of consistent watering) I began to grow flowers. Flowers make it easy for people to enjoy and these flowers were made to capture people’s hearts. God made. My favorite word. Everything about him is good. Everything he creates is perfect. Not without flaws. God’s perfect is different than our definition of perfect. He does his best work in the most flawed ones. All he has to do is breathe on it. God’s breath is all you need.
