hello to forever

Towards the end of last year, I started to feel a nudge within myself to go deeper with the Lord. During this season, my gut instinct was to swat that nudge away, back into the corner of my conscious. In my eyes, I was doing great. Physically, emotionally, spiritually floating above the average and not running into any major issues. Coasting. Complacent. Comfortable. Wow - what a roundup of words. I'm not sure what tipped me over but during my time in Salt Lake City, I realized that the nudge was still there and that I could no longer ignore it. Something in me responded, and I hit pause on Instagram with the desire to create more space for the Lord. The thing is, I've been distracted and have lived a distracted 2021. Sure, the Lord walked with me and met me in the most powerful ways last year, but I realize now that the allure of good things pulled me away from deeper communion with the Lord. Rather than being self-condemning, I'm approaching 2022 with a deep desire to not miss opportunities to dive deep with the Lord and to grasp unto the invitation that he continues to extend: to commune richly with him this side of heaven.
