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.⠀ I acknowledge that there are some things I can’t plan for. That I have no control over the actions and decisions of the people around me, and how that will affect my own heart. I acknowledge that life might take turns and twists on me, and no matter how grounded I feel, my foundation may still shake. I acknowledge that I don’t always know what God wants for me, or why I feel so alone, even when I know He’s with me, but I will still continue to walk with His truth in the forefront of my mind.⠀ ⠀ I acknowledge that an unknown future is terrifying, but I will believe in the goodness and positivity and walk with confidence. I will believe in people, in love, in truths that are shared with me. And I will willingly give my heart.⠀ ⠀ 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.⠀
