#SIX
“I’ll be right back. I promise. I’ll be right back.” We were going to Chuck E. Cheese and I was so excited. We all got ready, sat on the couch, and waited for him to come back. We never went to Chuck E. Cheese that day and I was devastated. “But he promised”, I thought to myself as the realization sunk in that we weren’t going. There were a lot of broken promises and eventually I started breaking promises too.
If I could go back and have a conversation with my 13-year-old self, I would tell her that God is the only one who always keep His promises. People are imperfect and, as much as they try not to, they disappoint us and let us down. Even the people that love us the most. It’s the result of sin. I would tell her to focus on the promises of God and to extend grace to those around her who make promises and can’t honor them. Because eventually she’ll break a promise too.
