Anytime my sweet little girl hurts herself, she wants help in cleaning it, wanting to make sure that her wound doesn't get infected and feeling better after its all said and done. But her favorite part is getting a band-aid to put on it. She takes her time picking out the right one so that it stays secure and it is rather suited to her taste. It makes her feel better to know that her pain won't last too much longer. Especially with the band-aid on it. It covers up the once untouched area that will now leave a scar once it heals.
- But my question is: will the scar truly ever heal?
But that's a part of this life we have been given. We have bruises and 'battle scars' to remind us of where we have come from. They can also be reminders not to go back to that particular part of your life. Everyone's scars are different, everyone's walk is different. But the one thing that will never change is God's undying love for each of us. He will make sure to kiss our scars and make us feel all better. I love the fact that I need help cleaning my scars and getting one of his band-aids on my wound. :)

Make sure in your pursuit to move on that you do give yourself TIME to heal..to grieve..to get better. Sometimes we have to relive the pain of scars because we try to ignore our past hurts or get over them a little more quickly than we need. I'm not saying to sulk or throw a pity party. Just to acknowledge that geez that was rough and I need a minute to get myself together...that is TOTALLY allowed...and guess what we are still considered to be SOLDIER LADIES having taken a moment to get ourselves back in the game. Be proud of yourself...I'm sure you've come a long way!
I don't know if you got my comment...I thought I submitted it but just in case. I just mentioned that sometimes we have to relive past hurts and our scars reopen because we didn't give ourselves adequate TIME to really get over it the first time. We need to time to heal..grieve and get better. Sometimes we just jump up and push to be ok because we are strong and that's what we feel we are supposed to do. I'm not saying to throw a pity party but do give yourself a second to breathe and realize that we just weathered a pretty tough storm...all soldiers need a small retreat. And mostly be proud of yourself, I'm sure you've come such a long way!
I agree with Shaneia. There are some wounds that take a good amount of time to heal. Others just aren't meant to be forgotten....
It's also nice to know someone always has a band-aid ready for your wound.
