You watched me fall and cry over and over again. I have face planted in front of you more times than I can count, trying to figure out how to maneuver through life. Only the lord knows how embarrassed I was when this happened and had to listen to me gripe and complain about how to face you repeatedly every day. Year after year you watched me. You watched as I hid and ran away too afraid to speak up and protect myself, too afraid to stand up for what was right, and too afraid to move forward from the stagnant position I had put myself in. Every year that you watched, as I made a mess of things, you came up with a plan. A plan to light a fire under my butt and move me forward. It was as if God himself told you I had issues and needed someone to hold my hand and pull me out of the dark pit that I had dug for myself. Like a sniper of the night, you executed it flawlessly. So let me tell you how things happened from my point of view.
