This Message Brought Me to Tears.
You are shown paths in life that don’t always seem clear. You stand there looking upon this path not knowing what to do or how to get started. This path is full of overgrowth, vines, thorns, many things that you feel you aren’t equipped to deal with.
Your options are forward or backwards…Well actually just forward. Back isn’t an option, well not realistically. We can take steps back in the wrong direction. We can put off the inevitable. At some point the above mentioned path will be laid before us once again.
So tools or no we must take this path, we must move through this rough rugged seemingly impossible path. Once on this path we will have to navigate. How? What tools do we have? Why? Where is it actually leading us?
For the most part we don’t know any the answers to any of these questions. Some of them may take longer to answer than others. At some point these answers will find us or we will find them. I believe that all of us have the answers and the tools. God has equipped us with all of them. We need to put in the work, we need to ask the questions, we need to look not only to ourselves but to Him.
For so many of us looking into the future and the paths laid before we start to panic. We get frustrated, discouraged, filled with doubt and anxiety. We start to avoid all those hard questions. We only look as far as within us and fail to look beyond ourselves.
If we stop and take even just a moment to be with God and put those hard to figure questions into His open and loving hands, we could see. See that that path isn’t really as overgrown as we thought. If it is we may find that that path is easier walked NEXT to someone. Let that someone be God. Let that someone carry you in those hard moments.
For some of us we are so fortunate to have people in our lives that can also help us on our way. People that are willing to give us the hope, the love, and sometimes the wisdom to press on. If these amazing people aren’t part of your life I want you to know that I’m team YOU!
GOOOO YOU! If that didn’t give you aaallll the encouragement you could ever need (I tried). Take your moment. take several, take them everyday! Find a moment even if its brief. Find your voice for God (or just your own).
Not everyone may see the same God I do, may not have one at all. I challenge you to just take a moment to be inside yourself. Let your mind and your heart find the same rhythm. Ask the universe to show you your way. Believe with all that you are that you have what you need. Know in your heart that no path can stop you. Nothing can really stand in your way.
Do the things, be the person, go the distance and fight the fight. You are strong enough, brave enough, smart enough…You are loved. You are doing those things. You are here.
I have always felt the things I’ve done weren’t enough. That they didn’t matter, that I should have done more that I could have done more… I’m in my thirties and got a message a few weeks ago that brought me to tears. the image I attached to this is that message. I didn’t know that from 1000 miles away I had family that saw. Saw what I was doing. Saw me in a way I have always struggled to see in myself.
Thank you to my Aunt for telling me that I am seen. In life we do so much of what we feel is right in that moment. Sometimes those decisions don’t turn out to be “right”. Try try again… Life happens and it will keep happening weather we trudge through it or not, so grab the right hands, ask the hard questions, do not fear the answers.
Much love and all the hugs,
The Momma
