An affirmation from a year ago, that still rings true for every single day. It’s hard to believe my book will be one year this April! 📖✨ Do you have #fromskytosea?

A January journal entry:
Every moment I have counts — towards my growth, my health, my future. Even if I mess up yet again, there is grace and there is healing. I want to be more like the waves; messy and untamed, yet a part of a greater thing, connected to a great expanse. To be calm and a force at the same time is at our very core, something usable and advancing. 
I’m learning that He shapes me differently every day. I learn to be okay with shifts and changes. To be strong is to find myself caught up in the wonder of it all — and then I move from there. I was never meant to stay one shape, one substance, I was meant to be that clay in His hands that so lovingly molds me into a stronger shape.
And I’ll meet the day like grace meets me every time — softly, yet filled to the brim with hope and promise of newness.
This is growth. This is growing with Him.
💭 reminding you today that although it’s so easy to show up here put together and lovely, still, you are more than those things — let’s stop letting a pained and tired world show us what our best is & bring our own beautiful selves to the table 🖤 #sundaythoughts
I haven’t had a year start off quite like this in a while. Maybe there’s a chance that this is the first time that I’m experiencing a whole new realm of dependence — a bent knee, scribbled messy words filling up brand new pages so quickly. It feels so strangely good and mismatched all at the same time, like it’s happening moment by moment in conjunction with Him who still, even though again and again I prove my fragility, holds me closer yet.
Like He’s told me before, He will guide me to where I need to be under heaven’s time and not mine. I’m seen, though so small and bunched up at the edge of my bed, and I’m heard, even when my heart strings pull and I can’t come up with the words. It’s in these aching, waiting days that I have to stop, continue my surrender, and bring it all to peace.
I hope your heart bends toward Him today, the One who can sort all of your breaking pieces and whose heart is made up of wholeness. I hope you find yourself on your knees in front of heaven rather than painting yourself heavenly first. I hope He leaves you in awe of how He makes life greater as He is doing for me, step by step, day by day.
And I hope you know that’s real love.
