The last two weeks have been the beginning of a beautiful release in this season of my life. It has, like many things from God’s hand been undeserved and generous, but what’s more amazing is that I’ve been in a place to receive it all, to truly recognize its worth. Peace has drenched my soul. I have had to fight the feelings of guilt and anxiety, but ultimately I have been released of them too. Not forever I tell myself, I won’t be here forever, but it is a necessary piece, a significant step, and it should not be missed. It has let me believe that it is not in fact silly or worthless to be a hopeless romantic.
I like the way the breezes kiss me these days.
I love that I have walked four different piers in California in two weeks.
Laughing with my roommate has been healing.
I love the way the little fan in my room lulls me to sleep in summer time.
Crepes and coffee are a lovely combination.
I love holding hands and strolling.
And for once, I like to admit that I don’t always know myself as well as I think I do.
And He speaks to me in these quiet moments….
“I was at work in you when you did not have eyes to see it.”
“It is okay to be nurtured.”
“I’m not finished yet.”
“Stay close.”
I would like to affectionately title this summer “Surprise and Delight”. Now I will pray it unfolds.
