What can comfort the raw pain of not knowing if your dreams will ever come to pass? What becomes of our faith? How do we press on towards our divine hope while our soul shatters in defeat? All of these beautiful questions teach us one thing...*insert the answer of our faith*

I am titling this as the in between, the not yet. Because essentially, this is the reality that we live in until we leave this Earth to eternally enter our true home, heaven. We are sojourners, foreigners, nomads. We will never truly feel at rest here because we were made for eternity. Our hearts yearn for the one who calls us to be restored back to the garden. Back to our original design, where we were never supposed to be separated from Him.

Freedom.

I didn’t think it was actually possible. When you experience freedom, a freedom so radical you can’t contain the Joy. I believe that -- is what He paid for.

“For now, we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.” 1 Corinthians 13:12

God has put eternity into our hearts. The longing, the ache, the yearning is for something nothing on Earth can fill. Do you ever find yourself, where, you have everything in the world, but it still doesn’t satisfy?

The waiting season feels happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time. A perfect combination of grief for something that has not come yet. A feeling that cannot be explained unless lived through. I believe God has a word for you if you find yourself in a season of waiting for marriage (this can be applied to whatever you are "waiting” on God for).

You are going to be so thankful that you waited to give your whole body, soul, & spirit to the one whom you entrust your heart to. The man you choose, that God ushers into your life will protect the gift of who you are. The treasure that God has made you to be. Because he has entrusted his heart to Him.

The physical parameters of God are to protect you not imprison you.

I wrote this word on what felt like a lonely, dark night. When it felt like everything was falling apart but somehow I was held together. I have found that the Lord leads us. He is with us through it all. Psalm 23:4 says “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” Press in! There is hope.
