Be You Bravely

This year is a time of transition. All of my life I have been a student. I knew the routine and what it required of my time, energy and relationships. Finally, at the age of 25, I am no longer a student. Now, I can chose the path that my life will take and the ways in which I want to devote my time and education.  


Over the years, the closer I have grown to God I find myself growing closer to my true self. God has used some really tough life experiences to break me apart, only to begin to put me back together into someone that I recognize before the breaking occurred. It’s funny how I actually feel more like my pre- turbulent life experience high school self now, than the person that I was in college. 


 God has been carefully revealing the ways in which he uniquely knit me together. I have become more confident as I felt God telling me that those previously ignored passions are there for a reason. Even my writing style has changed as God has increased my boldness. It is easy to hide behind metaphors and sprawling sentences when conveying emotion, but being clear and straightforward requires true vulnerability and confidence. Clarity is risky, but true intimacy only comes when we allow ourselves to be understood by another. 


At this point, nothing is certain. Every day I have to make a choice to position myself to hear from God. Most of the time I don’t hear Him give me any sort of direction, and that is ok because although he is very clear about some certain ways in which we should live our lives the rest of the decisions are largely up to us. But in the meantime He does promise that He is changing me in the process.
