I never thought I’d fall so far down this incredibly long dark hole,

something so sweet as the sound of your feet on the floor

would give me more 

room to breathe.

The sound of crickets and the warmth of the sun leaks through the backyard, and I sit, remembering how to be thankful, in calm and quiet. 

What a wonderful joy it is to follow the call of my Maker, to trust Him with my everything, to see how He holds my days in his hands and turns them into something beautifully surprising.

I couldn’t dream of a more intimate love, or a more perfect plan.

So I’ll let my fear of the unknown slip away and I’ll slip into the arms of One so much wiser than me. I’ll watch as I release my flowing rivers of emotion and worry into his life giving streams. I’ll watch as He lets living water flow from me. From my fingertips and lips I’ll see the beauty that flows from His Spirit heal, and He’ll show me what it means to be whole all the while.

What a joy and a blessing to see Him work in the lives of people all around me. It brings tears to my eyes and laughter to my lips as I hear stories of His blessings through the trials. 

I can think of nothing more beautiful than the adventure of following, and trusting, Christ Jesus, and living in the hope of an eternal tomorrow.
