Paradis

"

And of course, last but not least:

God —

— and believing in Him. I could commit pages to explaining my spiritual journey, and how I finally learned to surrender pride, pain, fear, and doubt. How I learned to comprehend an infinite source of strength, love, forgiveness and truth. It is a muscle I continue to exercise and strengthen, literally, every minute of the day, and the joy that comes with progress is just pure and all-encompassing. I don’t know how many people had to pray for me, or for how long, but I know I didn’t get to this level of spiritual maturity on my own. So for those that took (and continue to take) the time out to speak well for and of me - especially those that I hurt - I want you to know that your love, intentions, and forgiveness are not in vain. I’m thriving because of you.
