You can't run forever

I've been confronted with that this week. You can't run forever. You can't beat your demons if you hide from them. And I am guilty in that.

Its a lot easier to pretend the painful things in life never happened. Denial is a lovely thing except it keeps us from growing.

I'd rather not face my past but to move forward I have to. Its hard. I'd rather run the other way and pretend things never happened. But then I would be stuck here forever.

I believe God works all things for good. Even things like rape. I may not know "the good" and I may never until I get to heaven understand it and understand the good. But I know when God makes a promise that He keeps it.
