Okay, I got caught up!To tell you all the things I got caught up in would be a revamp of both the old soap tv shows that held up the days of our lives and the new world that has us consumed for every Tik and Tok! I know, I said that and believe its real, but the story is more than the drama, it's in the moments. So here I am caught up and the story is the story and how it ends is how I respond, what I do know that I found myself here and how I ride the waves that will come no matter what. And this is what I found:1. You don't do it alone2. Even the rocks cry out3. Growth hurts4. Love is powerful
Yesterday marked a year! Sometimes we don't realize how far we've come and within that the gains and losses, but for me, I am so so grateful. That season brought me to today and yesterday, I laughed, I played, I splashed in the water, spent time with people I love and I lived life!
I just watched this video of myself 2 years ago exercising with a motivational speech going in the background. Oh, what I have lost and gained in that time..I remember telling a friend I was never going back and here I am once again facing giants and looking at mountains. This time, I am not just to climb them, I am going to speak to them.
I am learning lessons? still growing, still falling and getting back up, still hoping, winning and losing.
"Growing isn't getting from one step to another its getting better through the steps...:
I am reminded today that it is the heart that matters...There is a connection at the ❤️ that defies protocol or understanding and even emotion. It is through the heart your purpose flows.Don't get stuck in your circumstance, let your heart be connected to the author of your story.
There is a song about freedom and finding it in the presence of the Lord.While this is my ending thoughy about my thoughts today, I had to begin with them, Ultimately because its the most important part of what I hope to convey. I have been burdened and it isn't about what those burdens are but the weight of them. The burdens whether yours are mine are an additional weight that physically constrain us from walking the true freedom we are all afforded by the grace of God. I am somewhat fustrated at how long it takes me sometimes to exchange all of these worries and burdens for the mercy of my Father.There is freedom on the presence.
