“…but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” Genesis 2:17 You can still feel it. How things were meant to be. There are moments that you unfurl and soften, enjoying the ease in your body, the peace in
You know that I am right there..? Painting streams of luminous colour and radiant light through all of it. The years you’ve seen stretching ahead, with held breath, looming and uncertain, are my beautiful wild garden that I’m breathing into life, bringing to bloom with a riot of scent and life and creative abandon.

But there’s so much noise
No matter what, I return to You. Like the waves returning to the shore, like water to the ground, I always return to You. Like a small child who knows the safety of the arms in which she is held, I come running for You. Because You show up every time. Every time. In pain,

Sometimes I really struggle to trust Him. I know that He doesn’t promise an easy life. He actually says that this life is full of trouble (John 16:33).
