I realized that it was time to pave my own road for my family and my children to walk on. I realized that the road I walked on was rough and covered in thorns and trees. I had to cut down trees with roots as old as the earth itself. The same trees my ancestors planted but the roots became rotted. Now they stand in the way of the path I am trying to create.
I walked so confidently through the road that was paved for me. The Holy Spirit taught me how to walk with confidence in Him alone. He taught me that breaking those generational curses was not easy but would clear the path for my children and their children to have less obstacles than my husband and I did. We came together and our paths merged.
More trees, more thorns. How do I walk by knowing that these same things could throw my descendants off the path. Leaving it to them to do the hard work. So many generations before me did that. They left the trees and thorns to grow stronger. So many generation that only thought to get themselves through the wilderness and not of those that would follow behind them.
It stops here. I will uproot the thorns and knock down the trees. I will burn the roots, so they never grow back. Will it be hard, yes. Will it make my journey longer than those before me, yes. But I refuse to make my road easier so my children can suffer from my laziness later. I refuse to allow those rotted trees to grow any stronger. I refuse to allow those thorns to pierce my children’s feet.
I will make the way, I will pave the road and I will be the change needed for a fresh start.
A new way of life, unity and love.
