I’ve been better about remembering to keep hope with me in my pockets, about smiling a little more at the way the air feels nowadays and wearing bravery like my favorite sweater that was tucked away for so long. I don’t want to just walk around on this earth without missing things — like the way my feet are moving forward yet somehow I’m led by hand, carefully and thoughtfully. I was made to see where others haven’t looked, go where only I can go, and dwell in my own custom haven. And He loves to watch me move daily, He delights in my choosing to grab onto His hand before making walls out of mere feelings, and without hesitation I can take my next step without fear of a free fall. There’s a certain sweetness to my heavenly connection — He takes me to places I didn’t know how to ask for, but have always longed to be.
Right now, it feels like there are so many things that are above me amongst the unreachable, they feel so far away yet so close to my open hands, I feel as though the surrender of it all is the only thing to do until those things reach me. I’ve written down so many truths during this time. It’s what I can do to position myself for the things before me. When there are things that wait just before the happening, the only thing I can do is rest in my here and now. Writing down truths and words that He puts on my heart ignites a braver, more patient me, and it drives out the foggy doubt that so easily sets in. I wonder if we could just learn to sew those words into our skin — I hope that words move you into bravery like they do for me. Just from writing this I feel lighter, I finally feel ready to move forward, and my mind is still. Now, He is writing those same truths on my empty pages.
This is all I could write down today, and that’s okay because it’s something I’ve needed to repeat over and over to myself — the faulty, doubting human in me tries to get me to believe the opposite. I am free. In ways I’ll never understand, He gracefully plucked me and untangled me from my own doing, Love comes daily to meet me right where I am, mess and all. And although I was set free once, freedom comes for me again and again. I am free.
Thankful for a loving, steady God who takes pride in the fixing of my untamed heart. 🕊✨
