Can you back the f up from where you are standing to get a bigger view of your life?
Could you dare to 𝐆𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐔𝐏 your tightly woven grip on what you thought the plan was supposed to look like?
Would you be willing to take a closer walk with faith and 𝐋𝐄𝐓 𝐆𝐎 of your limited perspective to leave room for miracles and the things that are FOR you, waiting to emerge into your life?
I swear surrender never looked so sexy… walk with me here…
If 2020 has taught me anything, it is how to walk in faith, 𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 that every piece of my story is right on time…
EVEN WHEN my clever fear-based ego could give you evidence that things are falling apart all around you, the world is burning (literally), people are exposing parts of themselves that have you questioning every relationship you ever had, and mistake #423028 has just confirmed that you are lost and have no idea what is happening.
Thank GOD you are not supposed to carry all that, right?!
All that anxiety? All that trouble? All those problems? All those micro-movements of life about school, and discipline, and friends, and death, and moving, and business, and disease, and bosses, and losses, and blah blah blah it’s heavy just writing it, lol.
All those emotions and questions of “who just breathed on me and now I’m suddenly feeling anger?” and whatever other Empath story I buy into in the moment?
All that “what ifs” and “what abouts” and “how am I supposed tos”?
No, bruh… life doesn’t work so well when I put that backpack on where I attempt to control the universe and every person who is a part of it.
𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐣𝐨𝐛. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐆𝐨𝐝'𝐬 𝐣𝐨𝐛...
It doesn’t work when the lenses that I see my life from are ONLY AS BIG AS WHAT IS IN FRONT OF ME.
What a narrow viewpoint to view this unfolding story, right? The life that is being brought TO me from the future, right now?
I can’t see my life clearly when I am trying to make sense of it all.
You know, that life where you swore you would be “here” and “there” by now?
The one where you planned for your wedding, and your new job position, and your projects, and your album, and your graduate program, your kids being back in school, and whatever outcome you were SO 𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐃 TO. (key word→ attached)
Would you be willing to GIVE UP the need to figure out all the pieces of your life in this very second?
Would you be willing to find out what happens the moment you surrender control?
And if you need to hear this…
You are held.
You are supported.
You are being directed.
You are being sharpened.
You are a miracle waiting to happen.
You are enough as you are.
You are worthy of that life coming TO you.
What if what is happening right now is making you READY for what’s coming?
You got this! more than you think.
And you are so radically luminous when you allow yourself to sparkle in your surrender…
