There are so many things in this life I can’t wrap my head around. There are so many people, relationships, moments, situations that don’t make sense, or that I can’t change. But lately, I’ve been trying to teach myself to slow down, to breathe, to accept, to trust.⠀
⠀
I’ve been trying to teach myself to release what is not meant for me and let life play out without my interference. I’ve been trying to teach myself how to love people from a distance, to step back when my role is to support on the sidelines, rather than hands-on.⠀
⠀
I still struggle with knowing how much of my heart to give, or whether I should stay or leave. I still have a tough time knowing how I’m supposed to trust my God when His plan isn’t always tangible, or even understood.⠀
⠀
There are some days when I know nothing, and the future looks like this wide open, scary space that is intimidating rather than exciting.⠀
⠀
But today, tomorrow, and the day after next, I’ve chosen to see the road ahead as a promise of hope. Of possibility. And I’m going to trust that path—wherever it may lead.⠀
⠀
The future won’t always sparkle; it won’t always shine. There will be moments where I scuff my shoes, where I trip and slip into the dirt, when I lose my footing completely and fall flat on my face, but I can always regain my balance, rise to my feet, and step forward again.⠀
⠀
So I am trusting in the road ahead. I know that my Father will lead me, and I know that wherever I am is where I’m meant to be. I know that there is so much that lies right outside my realm of control and comfort zone, and I’m choosing to embrace all those things with a smile on my face.⠀
⠀
So this is me acknowledging that life is meant to be lived and I will live it. I will take this step. I will walk this walk. I will stand with my head high and my heart beating strongly.⠀
⠀
And I will trust this road, wherever it may lead.⠀
