Are you looking to understand your life before you allow yourself to live it?

Are you looking to "𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐃” your life before you allow yourself to 𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄 it?

When we are children and we ask a trillion questions about where we are going and what we are gonna do there— we go anyway because we trust that our parents are gonna make it all ok.

We surrender, even when we bitch and complain all the way to the DMV.

What has us forget that we know how to do this as adults?

Well, we fall in love with this thing called "𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞” and we need a garbage truck... no... a football stadium size of IT to even consider taking that new step, or giving up control, or surrendering to what we can’t see but are being led to.

But what if the evidence is ALREADY around us?! What if, the evidence that we are being led to somewhere more fit for us, is already here?

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐰𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬?

What if we have been looking to prove our wrongness about our lives, right?

What if we have been using our OLD eyes to see a new story being written?

I became so done with trying to “figure out” what God is doing in my life- f’n A it’s exhausting... ISN’T IT!?

Trying to speak a language only He can hear? Trying to “fix” my life from my limited human experience? Trying to move forward in a way that I did in a past season like that old method is gonna help me in a NEW life?!

I had screamed out in the car one day in one of those ugly cries... WHY DO I NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT GOD IS DOING IN MY LIFE TO HAVE FAITH THAT HE IS MOVING IT FOR ME?!

If you really want the future to look different from your past, you gotta surrender your old eyes to see your life... and ohhh ya, it’s a journey... one that requires your patience and ZERO understanding to see the “evidence”... In surrender... there is freedom...
