Yesterday, I woke up and my blank page was immediately splashed with lemon yellow, the surprise of the bright sun, the energy of a good workout. I felt strong, energized, ready for anything.
This morning my page started out gray, overcast, and foggy. I felt overwhelmed before I even began. I stumbled towards the coffee pot and grabbed a book. I needed to wake up gently. And then something began to happen as I sat reading about transformation. I began to feel the arms of my heavenly Father wrap around me and gently pull me into His lap. He invited me to pour out my heart, my fears, my insecurities. I found myself harboring inadequacies and frustration. And then it came, the flood of tears, transforming the gray into a brilliant blue. My Father being the gracious Father that he is, didn’t stop there, he brought in his Son and let him take over. His Son grabbed my face and looked straight into my eyes, piercing the armor of my heart, the shell that encased my soul. The brilliance of the Son brought warmth and joy, making my heart ready.... Ready to proclaim the love of my Savior to my family, my neighbors, my community.... Ready to climb the mountain that this life seems to be..... Ready to accept transformation into my being....Ready to return to the comfort of his Spirit...guiding me, comforting me, walking this journey with me.
