In response to the question above, this is mine:
I used to think that every junction I came to in life. Every time I got to a new season or a different place in my life, meeting new people, I had finally arrived at some kind of destination. I usually have this mentality that wants to stay and become a part of something. To belong to that season. The people in that season. The environment in that season. But I never completely feel that final sense of arrival.
I try to find bonds there. New connections. I try to fit in, to put it plainly.
But every time though, for now, I have up and gone. I never stay in those seasons.
And I'm slowly realising that it's not about who I meet and cling to or become close to when I get there. It's who leaves with me.
Not who leaves physically.
Although I leave physically, I leave with people in my heart.
So it's more about who I leave with. Who stays in my heart? In what capacity do they stay in? Why?
Because for now, until He does otherwise with my life, I will keep moving.
That's why I've had to learn the ‘Art Of Letting Go’.
Friendships.
Relationships.
People that are not blood that I have once called family.
It's nothing personal. Truly.
He has just already decided who should stay and who should not stay. And I am but a humble participant. A sheep being led. One who did not write the story of my life and henceforth cannot decide without the One who did.
And I'm beginning to shut out the noise from outside I have unconsciously let in, and allow Him to reveal my unique story to me. Parts of me I have learnt to silence and ignore. Parts of me that I have tried to discipline out and replace with parts from others.
Most importantly, I am becoming comfortable with my life being anything but ordinary or predictable and not following a timetable, story, or a sequence the world and society projects unknowingly.
What Is My Story?
Where Am I Headed?
Honestly, I am not sure just yet but I have clues now and all I can do is keep following those clues.
And until He says “We have arrived.”, I'll have to keep moving.
At least, now I know I am no longer searching for me anymore. I've been found in Him. All I need to do now is keep discovering, uncovering, evolving and maturing.
There's a me I need to become as written in the wheels of time.
So….
