God is more interested in building a strong foundation than rushing you toward the finish line.

Here’s what heaven wants you to remember while you’re rebuilding.

• the pace of your rebuilding isn’t a reflection of your worth
• you don’t have to have everything figured out to be moving forward
• the version of you being rebuilt is stronger than the one that was broken
• some pieces aren’t supposed to come back with you

you’re allowed to grieve what was, even while you’re building what’s next

Jacqueline Whitney

• rest is part of the rebuilding
• the rebuild isn’t a step backward, even when it feels like one
• you’re allowed to grieve what was, even while you’re building what’s next
• some days will feel like progress and some will feel like standing still
• both are valid

• you can’t hurry a foundation
• the version of your life being built now is going to be more you than the one that fell apart
• every small choice to keep going is a brick being laid
• you don’t have to rebuild alone
