✨ GOD SAVED ME. 🙏🏼❤️ The old version of Lacey is dead. Not because I became perfect, but because God gave me a new life. 🕊️ The broken version of me, the parts that were never mended, the wounds I carried, the things I thought I would always struggle with; God began healing them. And in the process, He gave me a completely new perspective. 👀✨ He gave me a new lens to see things I couldn't see before. 👀 Recently, someone walked back into my life who brought confusion. Someone who had hurt my heart before. Someone who wouldn't commit. Someone who wanted the things of this world 🌍 and was living for worldly desires. And as hard as it was to say NO, I knew it was the best decision for me. 💔➡️❤️ Because God healed the version of me that would have let him back in. The old me might have accepted less. The old me might have ignored the red flags. The old me might have compromised my peace just to keep someone around. ❤️ But I'm not that woman anymore. 🙏🏼 I see things differently now because I am healing. I know my worth. I know what I deserve. I know the value of my peace, my heart, and my self-respect. And my self-respect speaks louder than my desire to be chosen by someone who isn't meant for me. 👑✨ I don't need to sell myself short for anyone. I don't need to force anything. I don't need to chase what God hasn't placed in my hands. In God's timing, it will happen. ❤️‍🔥 And until then, I'm enjoying the ride. I'm enjoying my life. I'm enjoying becoming the woman God created me to be. 🌸✨ And I say all of this NOT because I think I'm perfect. I am human. I will still make mistakes. I will still have moments where I struggle, where I question things, and where I have to surrender it all back to God. But the difference is that now I know where to turn. 🙏🏼 God truly saved me. He restored parts of me I thought were too broken to repair. He changed my heart. He changed my perspective. He changed what I will tolerate. He changed what I desire. And if He can do that for me, He can do it for you too. ❤️ Put God first. Seek Him before you seek the approval, love, or attention of anyone else. Trust Him when He closes doors. Trust Him when He asks you to walk away. Trust Him when you don't understand why something didn't work out. Because sometimes the thing you're begging God to keep is the very thing He's trying to free you from. 🕊️ God didn't take something from me. He saved me from settling for something that wasn't His best. And now? I'm at peace. 🤍 I'm healed enough to say no.
I'm strong enough to walk away.
I'm wise enough to recognize what isn't for me.
And I'm trusting enough to wait for what is. 🙏🏼✨ God first. Always. ❤️‍🔥
The rest will fall into place in His time. And I'm going to enjoy every step of the journey. 🌿🕊️✨ #godfirst #faith #healing #trustgod

✨ Hi, I'm Lacey. I'll be 48 on July 30th. 🎉❤️ The last two years have changed my life. I've spent a lot of time alone... with God. 🙏 Healing. Growing. Facing old wounds and traumas that stole my joy for far too long. It hasn't been easy talking about my past or everything that's been done to me, but I needed to let it out so I could finally let it go. Today, I can honestly say... I feel different. I know I've grown. I know I've evolved. I can feel it in my soul. 🦋 I'm at one of the best places I've ever been in my life, and it feels so good. 💛 I'm also realizing I'm afraid to let people in again. Not because I don't want love... but because I refuse to go backward. ⏪ I've had an ex reach out. Admitting he ran because of his own hurt and trauma. I respect that honesty, but I've realized something... 💭 I'm not waiting on my past anymore. I don't even think about it like I used to. I've healed too much to go back. 🤍 I've also had people reach out who are just beginning their healing journey, and I genuinely wish them the best. But I'm in a different season of life now. 💛 I'm praying for a man of God. 🙌 A man who loves the Lord, has done the work, and is ready to build something healthy. I'm not settling. I'm not taking two steps backward. I know God didn't bring me this far just to lower my standards. So here's my prayer... 🙏🏽✝️💜 "Lord, send me the man You have for me. Give me a vision of who my husband is so I'll recognize him when our paths cross. I trust that You won't ask me to settle or sell myself short. Thank You for healing me, strengthening me, and preparing both of us for the right time. I love You. Amen." ❤️🙏 If you're in your healing season too... keep going. Your peace is worth protecting. 🦋✨ #HealingJourney #GodFirst #FaithOverFear #WaitingOnGod #ChristianTikTok
