i think one of the most human things about this life is realizing that very little about it is linear.

our healing isn’t linear. our growth isn’t linear. and neither is the path we walk while trying to become, believe, trust, heal, and keep moving forward.

there are twists. there are turnabouts. there are detours you never saw coming. and sometimes, you even have to put the whole thing in reverse and go back to something you thought you had already moved beyond.

i’ve had to remind myself lately that none of that cancels out the progress.

i can be hopeful and still have moments where i question what is happening… i can trust the process and still wish parts of it made a little more sense… i can believe that God is placing me in all the right places and still be very human about how i feel while i am finding my footing in them.

both can (and do) exist.

and maybe that is what i am learning to give myself more grace for.

life will not always move in a straight line, and neither will i.

but i am still praying for God’s winks.
still looking for the favor. still trusting that even the detours are carrying something with them. still believing that what is meant for me will continue to find me in the right places, at the right time.

and perhaps my greatest superpower has never been getting everything right the first time.

maybe it has always been my ability to love myself back to life, over and over again, no matter how many times the road changes underneath me.

so this week, i am making room for all of it.

the hope… the uncertainty… the rerouting… the favor… the very human parts of becoming.

and trusting that somehow, it is all still leading me somewhere.

so, here’s to reminding ourselves today and everyday that even our missteps have purpose. stay gentle ❣️
