How beautiful it is that you are starting to see what you are learning in the present moment is tied to deeper things. What your eyes are being opened to is all a part of what is preparing you for meaningful things that will come to life beautifully and purposefully in their time.
And while living in the present moment can be exciting, it can also be terrifying, as you try to embrace the adventure of the journey, while avoiding the fall into the recklessness. And as you seek to live in the now, you might still have your doubts…this restless inner wonder that pulls you from the now, and into feelings about the past and how things should have happened differently.
As you walk through the forest of all of these things, may you cling all the more to God. For high above the treelines of deeply rooted uncertainty, peace is endless and it is boundless and it is exactly what you need to be reminded that the present moment is where you need to be. And not because the future or the past does not matter, but because you were made to open your eyes, and breathe deep, and come alive right here. You were made to step forward into the what this very moment brings, no matter your fears and no matter your uncertainties.
And one day in the future, you will be so grateful that you chose to make the most of moments like this. You will be so glad that you chose to be rooted and grounded in the present moment, even before you knew what was going to happen. And not because you had everything figured out, but because you knew without a doubt that there was grace to come alive and thrive here, no matter the wild of your unknowns.
May every moment of everyday be filled with this kind of peace: peace that says, “My heart will still seek joy, no matter my uncertainty.” You are on a journey, and you are headed toward beautiful life-giving things. May you remember that this present moment has things to be gathered to make it there.
