Rest.

There’s so much beauty in knowing that regardless of how bad things are at the moment, regardless of the place I find myself in and the hurt I’m faced with, regardless of all of the above and so much more everything will be okay someday. It may not feel like it rn but my heart and soul know it is true, for my God is a good God who will use this pain for the better of things. My God is a God who is with me right here, right now. Not on the other side of the mountain waiting for me to get through. But right here next to me, holding my hand calling my name, showing me the way. He is the one who gives me the strength to keep moving forward, to get back up again, to set my eyes on what’s ahead. He is the one who understands exactly what it is I’m going through and wants to show me the beauty behind the pain. All my life I grew up wishing someone would simply understand. All of it. My whole life, why I am the way I am, everything I’ve been through, the way I feel, the way I view things, everything from a-z. And I’ve finally found it. Because I can truly say that God is and will be the only one who will ever truly and fully understand. He knows, he sees the pain you’re faced with. And he wants nothing more but to bring healing into your life. To see you beaming with absolute joy. He wants nothing more but to show you true love and what it means to be truly loved for every single thing you are. He’s inviting you in. And no, not once you’ve “gotten it all together”; but right here, right now. Just as you are, no matter where you may find yourself in life. You can’t hide any part of you from your creator. For he is God and he sees it all. And he’s not upset, he’s not turned away from you, but his heart is breaking for you. He is ready for you to drop everything and come running into his arms. They’re open wide, all you have to do is move towards them.. he will take care of the rest. Leave it all at his feet, every broken part of you. Every single piece of you that may feel like no one could ever love or accept. For he does, he loves you and he is on your side. He does not wish for you to carry the burdens of this world not a moment longer. Hand them over to him, he will take good care of you. For you are the apple of his eye and he would and has already done it all for you. Lean in, take his hand. None of which you may be going through or may have already faced may make any sense to you right now, and that’s okay. Your part and my part is to simply trust. He will bring it all together, he will wipe away every tear, and you WILL sing for joy once more. You were never meant to fight life on your own. Now accept the rest he is offering, go on.. darling dance in your freedom!

Fulfilling.

What you’re about to read is something I wrote in a moment and time in my life where I was truly heartbroken; filled with heavy emotions and overwhelming thoughts. In a moment where the pain seemed to be all too much for me. And even though I KNEW God would get me through it and even though I KNEW God would use it for my own good, it just didn’t take away from the fact that right then and there, in that specific time of my life I was hurting. And I wanted it so desperately to come to an end; to sing for joy once again. I will say this though, in that moment I was so incredibly thankful to have God in my life. I knew then that the pain I was feeling, the situation I was faced with was one I could face with confidence and a restful heart. For I had God on my side, right there next to me, holding my hand and wiping away the tears. Behind me, pushing me through. Right in front of me leading me to where He knew I needed to be. I could trust that even though I may not know the reason be...

Open.

Today I was thinking about how much pain I am feeling as I hear my niece laughing in the other room, without a care in the world, not worried about when or what she will eat next, what her day is going to look like, what others may think of her, what she has to get done, whether or not she will have enough for the bills. And I almost envy her. Envy kids in general really. I start to think about all we face as grown-ups and the way we view the world and our everyday life vs how a child may perceive it and the little they have to face in comparison. Now don't get me wrong, I really am not trying to generalize here, I realize that there are exceptions and children who face far more than they ever should at their age. It's heartbreaking really. But still this really got me thinking and I couldn't help but to find myself wishing I was a little girl again. Without a worry. And it's just then I realize something I strongly felt God trying to reveal to me; that is how we should...
