Five minute Friday: Remember


Five minutes. No editing. 




These are the days I want to remember. There is much being made of this new start, and all the excitement and change that will follow. Having just moved to Watford and started Soul61, there is currently a magical quality to the proceedings, that seems to say that all things are possible and we are in a land of infinite wonder. Partly this is the honeymoon period... We are getting to know each other and this new place, and things have yet to get 'real'. For me, at least. I am building relationships and that is all well and good and beautiful, but I have not yet felt safe enough to be vulnerable. 


This will be a year to remember. A year of challenge, of stretching, of pushing far beyond my boundaries. It would be a travesty to treat this any other way. Why then am I still aware of the darkness on the edge of my vision? The somehow constant threat of falling back into that place of pain and rage and hurt? My Daddy is good, so good, and He has brought me to this place. His strength is made perfect in my weakness, and I will hide in Him and I will be safe. That is, my heart will be safe with Him as my protector. The rest I will risk for His sake...
