On the brink of change, of conflict, of transition, or of loss? Perhaps you are less on the brink, and more caught up in the irresistable flow of life’s medley of challenges – and you feeling thrust into a future you aren’t quite ready for?
You aren’t ready to let go? You aren’t ready to enter the next bit that’s looming around the corner? That’s okay. You aren’t expected to be anything but what you need for right now. Now matters most. You can’t be equipped for the past, and you aren’t ready yet for the future. But you are here, right now.
Breathe in. Breathe out. Be. Keep being. You are the only you that will ever grace this messy, wonderful world. And we need you. So be. And breathe. Breathe out all the ‘should’s and the ‘try harder’s.
What do you need right now? Who do you need to be right now? Moment by moment our lives play out their journeys, and we wouldn’t want to miss anything.
It is enough to be enough right now. Fill up your life right now with the force of your own presence. Breathe deep and breathe big. You are enough for this moment. And then you’ll be enough for the next moment. And so we will move through our lives… gloriously, bafflingly Enough.
Thank you for this meditation, Rachel. Exactly what I needed at this moment.
I’m so glad… thank you for reading!
Thank you for that perspective, Dr. Rachel.
Christy Lane spoke similarly:
One day at a time, sweet Jesus
I’m only human, I’m just a woman
Help me believe in what I could be and all that I am
Show me the stairway I have to climb
Lord, for my sake teach me to take one day at a time
One day at a time, sweet Jesus
That’s all I’m asking from You
Just give me the strength to do everyday
What I have to do
Yesterday’s gone, sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be mine
Lord, help me today, show me the way
One day at a time
Do you remember when You walked among men?
Well Jesus, You know, if You’re looking below, it’s worse now than then
Cheating and stealing, violence and crime
So for my sake, teach me to take one day at a time
One day at a time, sweet Jesus
That’s all I’m asking from You
Just give me the strength to do everyday
What I have to do
That’s a beautiful sentiment, thank you Dan.
