When The End Is The Beginning

I haven't been here in quite some time.  I was reminded of this when I got the email that said hey, you haven't been here in a really long while.  Are you still there?  And while the answer is yes, life for me isn't what it was all those years ago when I started.  It's been a while since there have been things I wanted to write. So much has transpired. So much has come full circle. It's hard to put those things into words sometimes. For so long this was a place to get all the words out. My world was very silent. God was working deep within who I was. Changing everything on the inside. That has changed. Six and a half years ago my life changed drastically. Three and a half years ago, it changed again. And while I should be writing a paper that is due later this week, I can't quite concentrate. I'm reminding myself that where this journey began was just that, a first step on a journey that would take years....and is still in the process of unfolding.  I have no idea how He will use all the words that fill my soul, but He will.  And as new presses hard on the very core of who I am, I'm also in the process of letting the old pass away.  So today is an end that is moving me into a new space.  It's one I'm not quite sure of, but it will come none the less.  I am the girl who was made lovely by her sorrows.  Those things that hollowed and wrecked me gave ground to the girl I am still becoming.  I am ever so grateful for the days that made me who I am and who I will continue to become....one who is thankful.
