Some of us possess the blessing of having been born into a family that fosters a firmly rooted foundation, like my character Dakota in The Hidden Diamond. Others suffer from a severely cracked infrastructure, unable to support a healthy life. I, too, the same way as Aldous, The Hidden Diamond’s main character, came from a vastly fractured footing. But every foundation can be rebuilt, as I chose to do early on in my young adult life. It doesn’t matter when they embrace this monumental construction job during a person’s lifespan. For example, Aldous waited seven decades to begin his life’s journey overhaul.
This Cannot Be Done in Isolation.
Such an extensive construction job cannot be completed in isolation. This is because of two crucial elements necessary to succeed—education and installing healthy boundaries.
Scripting The Hidden Diamond became a critical tool that I utilized to forge a firm foundation beneath my feet. It also helped me raise sturdy walls to form safe, breathable boundaries.
Not for the Faint of Heart
This type of renovation job is not meant for the faint of heart. Even more, as you swing that sledgehammer and bust concrete from the original structure, you will find yourself amid a mess. Dust will fly, covering you in a thick shroud of darkness. Consequently, tearing down the old construction exposes you to long-forgotten taboo truths. https://www.crystalmmhuntley.com/make-your-choice-is-it-taboo-or-boundaries/(opens in a new
You will become reacquainted with the same taboo truths a younger you fiercely objected to as you tightly clenched cover-up lies that rationalized your former position. Don’t be surprised when these newly exposed and often harsh realities bring you to your knees in crippling grief. Keep in mind that no meaningful journey exists without pitfalls. Nevertheless, place a helmet of bravery upon your head and grasp God’s hand. You will make it to the other side and discover the reward far exceeds the effort.
Grace Enters
Part of any significant journey that stares truth in its face is an acceptance that, along the way, you will many times fail. And this is where grace enters.
It took me decades to accept such grace, freely offered to us all by our Lord. Within the abusive home I was raised in, we were not allowed to make mistakes or even inquire. As a result, even as I flounder today, which frequently happens, I easily fall into that same black hole forged from lies carved into me as a child. Yet, as I grow with the knowledge of more truth, I tetter less often. Recently I heard the whisper that each mistake allows me an opportunity to experience God’s grace. I hold this truth close to my heart, knowing it came directly from God.
