Higher Way
Though common consensus generally dictates one to reflect upon a year that has passed at the end of the year, most commonly known as December, I recently found myself reflecting on a year that passed the other day - March. Needless to say, sufficient number of events, since January, had warranted a time for reflection - with the most notable observation being the chasm I felt in time and identity.
In relation to time, the previous three months could well have been three years. Though an exaggeration, and by far a stretch of the imagination, I would be bold enough to further add that the past three months could easily come close to three decades. Yes. Decades. Yep, that's longer than my entire life span.
But this is how I feel. Different. New. And at awe with a whole new world that has been opened up to me; filled with an overflow of excitement with what it has yet to offer.
On a tangential note, but whilst I'm on the subject of time, I just wanted to say how I find the concept fascinating. One I love. And won't discuss today. However, needless to say, it has yet again proven itself to hold no measure.
Regarding my identity: if I had found myself speaking to who I was back in January, though on the outside I may look no different except maybe add a wrinkle or two around the eyes, I am certain I would have found myself speaking to a different person today. It is a thought that concurrently baffles and amazes me.
The changes have been subtle; but powerful. And though the process of change were undeniably difficult and painful at parts; it has for the most part been absolutely beautiful.
I love and adore the place I'm finding myself at 28. I love the serenity that surrounds it. The calmness that instills it. The Spirit's flow that moves it. And the Father's peace that blesses it. This is the place of His promises fulfilled. To find it, is to simply seek His ways above our own and to never look away.
