As you walk through this forest of new unknowns, may you cling all the more to peace. For high above the trees of deeply rooted uncertainty, peace is endless and it is boundless and it is exactly what you need to be reminded that the present moment is where you need to be. Look up when you need to. Let the open space remind you that you exist in a place that is so much bigger than you and the thoughts in your head. There is so much more. Even when you can’t see it. And even here, even though you do not know what's next, you are free to make bold, courageous choices...right here, where you are.
Continue to sow seeds of faithfulness even when all of the odds seem stacked up against you.
Speak up, even if your voice shakes.
Be generous with the wisdom you’ve gathered even when others seem more qualified.
Fill the pages of your journal the way you want to, not how you think you should.
Use bold, bright colors. Or paint it all black.
Say goodbye to holding back.
Do these things not because you have the answers. Instead, because you are choosing to live with an open heart. You are choosing to breathe deep, no matter what, and come alive right where you are. You were made to give your all, no matter your fears. No matter your uncertainties.��And one day in the future, you will be so grateful that you chose to make the most of days like this. You will be so glad that you chose to be rooted and grounded in the present moment, even before you knew what was going to happen. And not because you had everything figured out, but because you knew without a doubt that there was grace to come alive and thrive here, no matter the wild of your unknowns.
Let today be filled with peace. Peace that says, “my soul will be unmoved, no matter what comes before me. My heart will still seek joy, no matter my uncertainty.” You are on a journey, and you are headed toward beautiful life-giving things.
Today you are free to make bold, courageous choices that speak to you where and who you’ve been called to be. (Excerpt from my app The Storyteller Co. - new weekly series starts today!)
