My words have become lost

 
 
 
 

The home they have known is no longer where they rest

 
 
 
 

Notes filled with prophetic pictures describing who I am

 
 
 

How God views me

 
 
 

Words describing my past few months and depicting the scenes
that are forever etched on my heart

 
 
 
 

Moments I fear that I will forget the taste of

 
 
 
 

Something I have had to give to God

 
 
 
 
 

Something I have had to trust He will not let my heart
forget

 
 
 
 
 

Words no longer within my grasp, not since losing my journal
in India

 
 
 

As I started to deal with the thought of losing my journal
and the notes written to me while on this journey, I started to fear that I
would also lose the memory of where my heart has traveled and the new
definition my soul has taken on.

 
 

“I will not let you forget this”

 


 

“When you need a reminder, I will provide it. Remember, I live within your
heart.”
 
 
 
 
 


As I continually had to let go of my emotional ties to my
journal and the comfort in knowing my hearts voice was documented if ever I
needed to be reminded of its character, God started to ask me to tell Him who I was.

 
 

I was faced with moments of standing strong in my hearts
identity

 
 
 

Not in a prideful way that outwardly makes a point to its
qualities

 
 

Just inwardly, to God

 
 

A two way conversation

 
 

Sometimes he reminded me how he created my heart and assured
me that I was walking as the woman he made me to be


 
 

Other times he would pose a question and I would have to
confirm that I understood who I am and that I didn’t need to hear it from other
sources. I had understood, but now had to stand confident in the assurance that
sources outside of Him were not going to define my heart.


 
 

Slowly

 
 

He reminded me that I did not need a journal to tell me who
I am

 
 

Or where I have been

 
 

My words are lost in India

 
 

But, the description of my hearts
creation has never been so clearly within my grasp

 
 

The crazy thing…

 
 

The description of who I was created to be will never be
complete

 
 

I hope to never be a defined identity

 
 

I hope to never be someone who has reached their definition

 
 

Done being written

 
 


With each draft, I give it to God and delight in the edits
He makes
