Life Is Deeper
I’ll never forget when the singer of the band NEED TO BREATHE sang “life is but a vision in window that we’re peaking through”. I hung on this for hours. I believe there’s a truth in it. We see the world through eyes that impart are justified by our experience and the deeper window we decide to broaden our self to.

Quickly, I realized we all see things so differently. So, when I had a person in my life that was like-minded, astonishing. I believe there are no coincidences. As much as it hurt, I know that that person I would consider my best friend, left because it’s a part of a divine plan that I can’t begin to wrap my head around.

This woman was also a young mom, like me. Despite this, she is well off. As my daughters dad was off to rehab, I turned in my head all that had taken place. God revealed to me, if the grandmother didn’t know the struggles of being a young mom, then she wouldn’t have given him slack. Also, if he wouldn’t have robbed his family, then he wouldn’t embark on a journey to sobriety and later Godliness. And if his parents didn’t teach the necessity to make amends and if their parent and their parents didn’t teach it…. it goes back so far. It’s all connected. All for that one destined day. An unexpected paradox I wrapped my head around. We are all a single thread interwoven in a quilt that God is knitting.
This is sovereignty, a plan that only God Himself could orchestrate. This is the reality of every moment we live. Crazy.
Looking into a field of wild flowers as the music blared in my ears, beauty in the unorganized field arose. Reassessing my approach to life, I knew that there was deep meaning in the mundane that everyone glazed over. Don’t be that person, find the beauty in the chaos because truth is, everything is divinely placed where it’s supposed to be. Trust God,.
