Struggling to Remember


i am struggling hard to remember that He is good. i am struggling to remember that when all of this is over: the papers and the final exams and the house searching, that He will send the sun to wrap me up and the ocean to wash my feet. i am struggling to remember that he has never failed to send the sun or the Son. i am struggling to remember that this is worth it, that the analyzing and the researching and the technical words will give way to the creative, imaginative words i know and love when i am done. i am struggling with the thoughts of regret and self-loathing for picking this major and the overwhelming self-doubt as i struggle to make words, the one thing i want to do for the rest of my life. i struggle to remember that the words are not my own; they are His and they flow through His Breathe and get stuck in the empty spaces of my brain where i struggle to find them. i struggle. i struggle. i struggle. i struggle to not give up and end my search. i am remembering that He gave me the words in the first place, that he knows where they are. i am remembering that i was made for this. i am remembering who made me for this. i am remembering that He sent the Son and He will send the sun and he will send the words if i only ask. i am remembering to ask.

  1. I am so glad He used that verse to reach you! Do not worry! He will teach you more and more and you will look back and be so grateful for this time. Also, that mumford and sons song is my absolute favorite. I'm praying the words come to you!
