In the past year, I’ve had to ‘let go’ in countless ways–but especially in regard to my dreams of my ideal career as well as a heartache or two. This year had its ups and its downs (as every year does), but through it all–I can see God clearly conducting at the front of my life’s orchestra. Not all of the notes are eloquent–there have been times of tears. Not all of the instruments are in tune–there have been times of anger. But, through it all, God’s perfect work–like a conductor’s beautiful and steady hands, have remained steadfast. It is as though a grace, at times unseen and unknown to me, has penetrated the very depths of my being, breaking away the parameters and walls I tried so carefully to construct. But like the flow of a quartet, which intricately relies on each player’s unique giftings, God’s grace flowed into my life throughout each month–a calming grace that comforted me like the hug of a loved one, the smile of a child, the wag of a dog’s tail, and the sunrise–a daily present, even if not seen. This is God’s grace in my life.
