“Are you tired of the nonstop rhythm and rush of your day to day routine? ”
Do you give 100% to your loved ones and responsibilities and look up at the end of the year to honestly admit that another year has flown by and there is more inside of you that didn’t quite manifest or have the space to truly rise?
Have you survived valley seasons, shifts, losses, and unpredictable changes that, if you are honest, throughout the years, may have fragmented your heart, your trust, your outlook on life?
Let’s be even more vulnerable for a second? Have you ever withdrawn, shifted, or put a guard up to protect yourself from being disappointed on that level ever again?
Have you taken a hit so hard along the way, that you wonder if you began playing it safe, over planning, unknowing still trying to control aspects of your life that God may be trying to bring unexpected blessings or something that does always “quite make sense” in the beginning?
“Me too. I’ve been there and life has come along and knocked the wind out of me a time or two. ”
I’ve found myself flying high, speaking and empowering people across the world in one season and on the floor called up in the fetal in tears wondering what happened in another.
I’ve sat on the therapy sofa, committed to understanding what I couldn’t quite put words to and taken more nature walks fo protect my sanity than you can imagine.
I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve danced, I’ve screamed, I’ve kicked because it just didn’t make sense and one thing remains true.
“I found something along the way that was waiting for me the entire time.”
A missing piece of my identity. A truth that ran so deep, the blood in my veins could feel it. A pain so suppressed only tears could release it. A power so bold, only God majesty could awaken it . And that missing piece was waiting in the Motherland.
And it’s not something you get on the bus tour as you look out the window. It’s what you feel when you stand still and experience authentic and unmanufactured land not well manicured lawns.
