I’ve been longing to resume my daily reflections but the words wouldn’t come. Perhaps the Lord needed to reconfigure my focus and build a life that reflected who I am. Not the woman I was long ago. Maybe He wanted to do something new instead.
To tell you the truth, I’ve never written for myself. I don’t have a stack of journals or private musings no ones seen. I poured them out unreservedly. Heartfelt libations that another read and scrutinized. And I wasn’t afraid or ashamed. I don’t know why.
All this time I’ve been silent. Until now.
I could ask questions and chew on the why until sleep overtakes me. But that’s not the essence of living intentionally and trusting God through our uncertainty. Because sometimes we have to live the questions. The answers won’t make sense until we’ve got some mileage under our feet.
Instead of pondering I’m resting in today’s thought:
“There are years that ask questions and years that answer.” —Zora Neal Hurston
❣️And I’m feeling a quiet peace.
❣️And creating a new way of relating in this space.
❣️And I’m nurturing the part of myself He’s restored and ignited to come forth once more.
❣️And I’m releasing limitations and trusting in His providence. He knows the way.
