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”
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
