Reality lately... has been hard to say the least. A couple months ago the Lord told me I was going to need to trust Him in this season. As I was praying through what I needed to trust and surrender to Him, I pictured myself jumping. Really that's what Trust/Love/Surrender is... it's jumping and it's such a beautiful risk, that I'm realizing sometimes I can only learn by literally falling on my face. I wrote this poem a couple months ago when I first moved back home, and it explains life recently. PS = It's a big deal for me to share my writing on here by the way, I have LOTS of journals that have not been read by anyone but God and I, but I feel though that as I step into a new season of life, which has been hereby named the "healing season". Blogging seems to be a good way for me to process through thoughts and be transparent.
So that being said, this is my poem, be blessed!
Lighter <3
The longer I hold on,
The more comfortable I get.
All this starts to bottle up…
…. Inside the destitute depths of this tattered soul.
Finally my fingers…
They slip…..
One,
Two,
Three…
There they go, and there I am.
Bare… Surrendered …. Naked.
I erupt in the friction of it all,
The tears start rolling…
One,
Two,
Three…
They fall, and I …
Well, I float …
Lighter.
Freer.
And I realize…
As this baggage falls, a mask does as well…
And I never have to leave His hands.
It’s a process, it’s a journey,
… and grace… it becomes more real each time.
Thank you Father… thank you Father for entrusting a living legacy … to me, to us…
May I/we always be faithful.
Beautiful, Ana! Excited to hear what God's doing in your life and very, very proud of you and who you've become!
