I keep telling myself life circumstances change. Sometimes they change slowly and sometimes, in the blink of an eye, life is dramatically different. I am working on my level of patience. I am trying to not pray for change because sometimes change can come in the most heart-wrenching ways and frankly, I don't know if I am ready for another heart-wrenching change. I am working on being grateful for where I am today. Waking up and being grateful for God's grace. Thank you, Lord, for your continued grace on a sinner like me. I fail you every day, no matter how hard I try. Thank you, Lord, for your forgiveness and mercy.
So, I am just trying to keep breathing. Breathing at a steady pace, while the world rushes around me. Just breathing and exhaling tiny prayers in my moments of loneliness. It will not always be this way and I know that is true.
Keep Breathing - Ingrid Michaelson
