Something is aroused within you and you must hearken to it. This takes the greatest courage and will to allow yourself to receive the largest rewards - of not looking ahead to the next moment in fear for the unknown, but to REST in this moment where you know you are safe, and loved, and happy.
That was what I wrote last night. Let me try again, quickly, to see if I can be more clear (if more drawn out)...
After great despair and heaviness, you are given great hope through immensely graceful love and words of kindness and wisdom bestowed upon your ear, and it seems it is a message from God, a single beam of light that lights up your world. For a moment. You hear the music. Everything seems okay. -And that's alright- Don't look ahead. Don't remind yourself that more problems will come, that you still have a whole journey to make it through, that each day brings trials and problems and challenges and growth and often pain or confusion or difficult decisions. Yes...this is true. But don't force yourself to look ahead to those unknown times to come! Rest in a moment of hope. It is okay to hope. You must allow yourself to hope.
"You are only at the end of one question mark of your life. You're going to keep changing, growing, discovering, exploring. Right now you're in such a strained, difficult environment, it's hard to know what to do with yourself...We all go through these awful, awkward stages in our lives... Your life feels topsy-turvy right now; nothing makes sense and everything seems to be working against you, but I feel content in my heart right now that things will work out for the better."
Thank you. I won't look ahead. I'll try not to be afraid. I'll try to rest. I'll hold to hope.
Goodnight
