Freed

I feel so wonderfully free! I can talk to people, and be open again! I can hang with friends I haven't seen in too many moons. I hate it when the conversation with the people I love gets simmered down to 'good luck on finals' or 'how was last semester'? Tonight, I told Leola, my black sister, that I missed her so much. And I LIVE with her. I tended my small, neglected garden that is suspended above ground on my balcony. Some of the plants actually survived my relationship. But my fish didn't. Oh and I have like, two total journal entries. In the span of like 3 months! It saddens me how distracted I was. I am so elated that I get to freely do the things I found such delight in about six months ago, and now I can experience it new, all over again. I feel like I'm finding me again, the core of myself that I've been stuffing down and putting on a shelf.

The Lord gave me this verse last night.

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.
Isaiah 43:18

I'm so encouraged and glad.

"I have been learnin' to just let it all go and stay quiet when I feel like speakin'..."Colbie Caillat - Tied Down <--- I love this song, simply because of this one lyric.
