Hiding in Him
Much like abiding šŖØ
Hi friends,
Itās been a while.
I would love to be more frequent/present on Substack, but oftentimes I feel I have nothing to write, and I also like to take breaks from scrolling on any type of social media (I have a bit of an obsessive personality).
But Iām back today, because as has been the unintentional theme of this page; Iām going through a season (:
The past two years have honestly been the stretchiest ones of my entire life. Itās been hard. I have never met this version of myself before, and I quite frankly have no clue what to do with her. And the Lord has consistently laid on my heart that there is no formula to faithāI simply need to depend on Him. So this is what I have been learning to do more sincerely.
In the past, I always tried to gather the broken pieces of myself and put it back together again; and hope that it would pass as āgood enoughāā¦ānormalā. But recently, Iāve been cracking in ways that simply canāt be put back together anymore, not in any decent shape. So Iāve been scooting them across the floor, towards the Lord, hoping that He would still want to do something with it.
But the funny thing is that this is His doing. Who I have been, or whatever persona I had crafted is simply not sufficient for the next chapter. And the Father is here, reshaping, restructuring, and molding. It is hard to remember that sometimes, but He is. I know this because of the Light that still peaks, and spills through these cracks, and illuminates the seeming darkness for what it truly is: Victory in Christ :)
P.S Thank you for reading! Please let me know if you can relate to anything up there, and if perhaps, youāre also meeting yourself fully for the first time!
A song I have had on repeat recently that I think goes with this post is āBrittleā by Tekoa ft Sarah Juers. My favorite line: āIām about to break, but maybe thatās just what it takesā ā”
