“If you’re feeling frightened about what comes next… don’t.
Embrace the uncertainty. Allow it to lead you places. Be brave as it challenges
you to exercise both your heart and your mind as you create your own path
towards happiness. Don’t waste time with regret. Spin wildly into your next
action. Enjoy the present - each moment as it comes - because you’ll never get
another one quite like it. And if you should ever look up and find yourself
lost, simply take a breath and start over. Retrace your steps and go back to
the purest place in your heart, where your hope lives. You’ll find your way
again.”
--Everwood
Oh in so many ways this is my heart tonight. I am frightened about the uncertainty. In many moments I can turn this process over
to God, but so often fear sneaks up on me again. If you've known me very long you know how
much I like to have things under control.
(Ask my maid of honor about my wedding day...) Because of this I struggle to embrace the
uncertainty, however I'm learning that it leads you to be present and enjoy
every moment.
I am learning more and more that it is so easy to rush
through life and miss the moments because you are trying to reach the
destination. I do not want to miss today
because I am distracted by yesterday or by tomorrow. Each day is filled with its own joys and its
own pains.
So today, we took another step as we attended a meeting at
Bethany Christian. Today I am trying to
embrace the uncertainty. Today I am
striving to trust God's plan above my own.
And today I am simply striving to enjoy the moments unlike any other
that will ever exist. Pray, embrace, and
enjoy along with us.
