1. indicating return to a previous condition, restoration, withdrawal, etc. rebuild renew retrace reunite
I do believe that the prefix re can be quite powerful. Matter of fact the are so many re words I could never manage to post them all, but I will say there are several that have become quite important to me in my quest of rebuilding my life. From start to finish I want my life to reflect the work of redemption. Coming from a background of abuse, addiction, self mutilation and some of the more mild afflictions, restructuring my life has become my main objective. I have found out the hard way who I was, and who I am, and now , by the grace of God, I know who I want to be.
Re-evaluating what I really want out of life, and knowing what God desires for me and my family has given me a new lease on life, if you will. Sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming and almost more than I can bear, but as I get further away from who I was and closer to who I want to be, I feel a sense of relief. To know that rebuilding my character and how I behave, gives my children an opportunity at life they may not have had otherwise makes all the hard work most worthwhile.
Today I am proud to say I enjoy the small victories, from maintaining an orderly home, to speaking calmly to my children. It may seem easy to others, but to me it is a renewal of spirit and an empowering sense of accomplishment. I am no longer a slave to my addiction, anger, resentment, fear or emotions. Giving up the right to get even (including hating myself) has set me on a journey of forgiveness and freedom, a path I might have missed altogether had it not been for the journey I had been on till now. I can finally enjoy the freedom God has purposed all along.
