A reflection:
I’ve never watched a year pass by so so viscerally, so quickly, and so
Vividly.
I would usually have something to distract me from the problems the demons that ran amok in my own head. But i wasn’t allowed to have that this year.
Amidst the chaos of the world, I could not see past my own storms for the longest time. I was stuck in a hurricane, with swirling storms, my own screams lost among the winds. I was stuck out in the middle of the ocean with a sleeping Christ, and I was paddling alone.
Every single day I would poke Him and ask how Lord? Now? What about now? When will you give me the rest I seek?
But I realized after almost drowning again and again that maybe all I needed to do was just sit and let the storm happen. I didn’t need to do anything more than
What I could do for He was already there. All I needed to do was trust again and again, for He never fails.
It is almost September now and the familiar chills are settling in. The melancholy of things before hangs in the air and in my heart but it is taken over by utter wonder
At how He carried me this year. I can talk about every day of this year in minute detail, as the scenes play out before me. Such vivid images. Everyday has led me to this moment in time, right here, right now.
The year is not yet over ofc. There is still so
Much to be done. But it’s so fascinating to me how much this year has shaped me and how God has loved me throughout it all.

And He loves you too, you know ^-^
