Hey Patricia...God doesn't make junk!
When you look in the mirror, know that every shape and mark is exactly the way it is supposed to be. You are unique and important. No matter where you've been or what you've done, you can have a mulligan. A fresh start at any time. Scars may be visible or invisible, and they do guide us, but not necessarily in bad ways. Your future potential is brilliant. If it is too scary, put on some sunglasses and walk slowly. Ahh, your quote...looks like you may be starting a mountain hike!
Hugs.
