Square One

Today was a very normal day, and it kind of made a few things clear in my mind in being so normal: Things won't change overnight. And sometimes it seems, even forgiveness won't cover the consequences of things done wrong. I wish the consequences were physical, or monetary or something instead of emotional and relational.
Square one doesn't exactly feel like a starting place anymore. It kind of feels like just...continuing. I wanted it to be a springboard. But alas, sometimes forgiveness is the sun you can only feel through the stained glass. In time the glass will break and trust will take over, so until then I am praying desperately for patience.
