Beautiful Redemption

I cry father, father forgive me
You say 'Child I already have'

Beautiful words from a song on Joy William's latest album, Genesis. What a profound statement. Twelve words. Thats all it takes. A plea, and an answer.

Isn't God wonderful? I'm so thankful for His beautiful redemption. There is no long, lonely road for me to walk. There is only a beautiful journey ahead for me to experience and enjoy.

I know good things will come of this. I just have to keep the faith. I have to keep hoping. I am nothing without hope. Hope for something better. Hope for something more.

Its time for me to start defining something more. I know who I want to chase it with. Now its time to chase after it.

So far in my journey, I have only been telling people I know will support me. Its getting to the point where I feel like I am purposefully deceiving those friends and family of mine who do not know about this new chapter of my life. I find myself conflicted over the timing of telling people about the 'new me'. I don't think I'm ready yet to have to stand up to harsh judgement and criticism. I suppose when the time is right, I'll know.

I knew when God was undoubtedly calling me home just a couple of weeks ago on that airplane. It was about time I answered. Here's to hoping it was in time.
