Full Custody

In my journey to become whole, I found the following:

The Write Stuff by author Christy Truitt

He demanded full custody.

The battle over "things" pulled on flesh. A living, breathing, creation in the center of the split. It was the only thing he wanted. The one thing he would not release. 

He knew her life consisted of the line item of the settlement statement. All she knew. Everything she was. 

And he wanted it.

She rolled up her sleeves, took off her earrings, and came out swinging.

You'd think this was a divorce case. A child straddling the growing divide between her parents. About to fall in the middle, his legs unable to stretch anymore.

But no, dear ones. I don't write about a child.

I write about you.

Your identity. Your soul. The very you that is you.

You are the only one who can fight for you. You have sole custody of your choices, actions, words, intentions. Others will come to claim their rights. Woo you with all the other dreams your heart demands only to leave this in the small print, the soft charge. You sign away before you even know to fight.

But fight you must.

No one can separate you from you except...you.

You're worth fighting for.

Now hold my earrings...

 

You are worth it. God is cheering you on. Get to it!
