Long story short, my computer has seen it’s last day. A little bit of the coffee I enjoyed, the rest my computer enjoyed. This computer got me through all of college, equipping me to gain so much knowledge and being by my side for many papers and lap reports. This computer was also home to thousands of photos of many memories from high school and college. Memories from some of my happiest most joy filled moments. Some friends friends of the present, some with friends of the past.
It’s been a tough few day, figuring out the means to buy a new computer and trying to process what this all meant.
This is a new season of life, though. God called me to something greater, beyond what was comfortable. God asked me to leave behind family and friends to make so many new friends and memories. But I was reminded this IS a new seasons of life. Although I can never truly forgot all those memories that were once kept on my computer, I am not meant to dwell on these.
I said YES to the Lord when He asked and when I did that, I knew I would be saying bye to many things materialistically, but I THOUGHT I had the ability to choose what I’d say bye to. I didn’t think my computer would be one of them.
God has other plans. He took me computer and all it housed. But in doing this, He told me not to dwell on what I was leaving behind, but to accept what is to come with open arms.
Like a new born child, we are wiped clean from the first moments of birth and many times to follow. Gosh with open arms I welcomed a child into this world and what a beautiful experience that was. Why would I not do this with the new season God has laid before me?
Here’s to a new season of childlike faith. A new season of surrendering to God with opens arms. To not dwell on what I no longer have and clearing what ISNT NEEDED to welcome all that is to come.
Thank you God for this reminder and for allowing me to see past frustration and find new beauty.
Wishing love before the next border,
B
