Of one thing I am certain, we are all here with a purpose. Our lives aren’t trivial happenstance. There is a God-given reason that we were placed upon & breathing on this planet, a destiny for why our heart beats its distinct rhythm & paces in the places it has landed. There is a reason, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯, even if we don’t see it yet. You were divinely created for this place, this time. Believe it, breathe it, walk it with prayer and purpose.

On the days that it felt like the stormy valleys would never stop, I learned to breathe between the thunder & to soak in the Son. I learned how to breathe in grace.
