One journey ending and another beginning. I can do nothing but kneel at the Fathers feet and thank Him for bringing me here; where I am today. A different person. Changed by the love of my heavenly Father. Gently and radically changed.
I have been taken out of the mold I was in. A mold the world had created for me that I tried so hard to fit in. Never successfully fitting into but still choosing to reside in because that's all I knew. I was like the kid that was trying so hard to fit the circle into the square hole and never succeeding but continuing to try nonetheless. Thankfully, today I can tell you that's not the case for me anymore. This year I have allowed God to destroy that mold. Leaving me bare. Raw. Standing before others at times with absolutely nothing to offer. And with time He has guided me to the mold He created for me. A home that will be mine forever. A mold that will never be destroyed nor recreated. And if we're being honest, a mold that some aren't going to understand or agree with, but that's ok. I trust my Maker.
He has painfully, gently, dramatically molded me. And it is a beautiful thing. A year of dramatic change is ending and I'm afraid another one even more exciting is beginning. I pray edification never ceases but only presses in more and more. And before you know it the mold I'm in will be even more sturdy and defined than it is today.
Walking toward the door that leads to another season I've learned that change is constant and God can always be found in it. And most of all, that my identity is found in my Maker and that's enough.
