This last month as been filled with many thoughts and many gifts. My soul is lighter as I learn more fully how to carry my worth for myself. My soul is lighter as I am gifted to carry the burdens of others.
The gift of constant affirmation of my calling has come like the ocean breaking upon shores of stubborn rock. These affirmations have worn away the hardness of my heat, as I accepti the truth of my value before Almighty God.
I walk each day in health. Some days better than others. I am learning to let go of the imperfection of yesterday's journey and embrace what I can do today to live a life of health. I am learning to surrender to God that which I can not do myself.
My life is very much about the present. Even as I learn to untangle the past; even as glimpses of the future unfold before me, I am learning to be present.
There is no one story or study that caused these thoughts. There is no one perfect illustration from my life that sums up how the Spirit has been moving in and through me. Simply know dear friend, that I am living well.
That is not to say that pain is absent or that hurt has gone away. That is not to say that anything is perfect. But that is the point. Perfection is no longer my goal or my standard. Perfection is no longer my noose or the cause of my defeating thoughts.
Perfection is my Father, my God, my Redeemer. I run toward Him. I press into Him. Some days I walk. Other days I sit, knowing that He is already where I am. Many days He reaches toward me, when I forget to reach toward Him.
