Learn To Live Your Life And Nothing Less

Ahem,

Taking life as it comes. My life as I knew it, changed forever. Yet the simplicity of re-entry continues to contradict itself, proving to be quite the opposite. My heart is learning to live again without the constant encouragement of dearly loved friends. Tears were shed, smiles displayed and hugs given without hesitance, leaving nothing to be desired except the look of yearning met by eyes made red by fair-well. 

I stand now, willing to meet the challenges described by life, opening my arms to the promised difficulties that are yet to be met. I reflect on lessons learned, reciting allowed to myself, the desire to run straight back into His arms. To remember everyday that there is a word, a word that lives within my grasp. And I’m reminded of a poem I once read, its verses opening my eyes back to the truths I never wish to forget.

“I strive and strive, my reflections are
Aspirations of an image I was made to be.
And I can only be, the light lit within me,
Given in Grace, earned by submission.”

I’ll live without hesitation, sprinting all out towards a Savior who claims my life. He is mine, and I His. 
Amen.
