THERE IS STILL ROOM FOR YOUR NEW BEGINNING
For so long, you have had these things on your heart, and I hope that this can be the season where you watch them unfold, knowing that even though the journey is long, every step is worth it. And not because things will be perfect, but because you know you will learn along the way and you know that in the years to come, you will have grown.
So take heart, in this season. Over everything that was broken, let your tired heart be open to the possibility of what could be: even here you are free to dream. You are free to trust and believe that in moving forward, you will find: there is so much more to see.
You have known it what it means to be let down, and you have also known what it means to find joy. You have known what it means to have to wait, and you have grown in patience and strength. So I hope you can carry that with you. I hope you remember how far you have come. I hope you can trust that even in unknowns you are more prepared for the journey than you think.
You have already been through so much. You have already overcome so much. And this present season represents your progress even when you are faced with uncertainty.
Allow yourself to keep dreaming,
no matter what has yet to come together.
No matter your fears,
no matter your failures,
allow yourself to dream.
Let yourself begin to see:
there is still room
for new beginnings.
Not everyone will support you or have the time to listen, but you can still trust that deep within, there is a fire burning with you that is waiting to be ignited even without the support you thought you would have. Also, it might take time to cultivate your ideas. It might take years to refine the dream, but it is worth to keep pursuing the things that help you grow, even when you have questions, even when you are faced with unknowns.
So follow your curiosity. Go in pursuit of new unknowns. Ask the questions you have wanted to ask. Say the truth you have meant to say. Let yourself come alive right here in the mess of the things, knowing that this is the place where you will grow. And you will find new struggles, but you will also find new joys. And through the wild of it all, you will look up and one day see: you found a life worth living. Through all that was unknown, and all the mountains that helped you grow, you found a life worth living.
Your heart might be tired, and you might not know what’s ahead, but there is still time to trust that there is a reason to come alive here. You are free to dream and believe in the possibility of better things.
