"In the in-betweens, Light will pour in, anyway"

I hope you get to travel and see sunrises that are so breathtaking that you never want them to end, and I hope you also find the peace that goes beyond your understanding and runs wild within. Even on those longer days; where you feel the weight of what you are waiting for, I hope that as sure as you know your heart is beating, you know that even here, there is more in store.

For you have learned to live in the in between and make the most of the little things, and I just hope you know: that is a wonderful place to be. And when it comes to that, you don’t need to change a single thing, for all of this shaping you in ways beyond what you can imagine. All of this is preparing you to travel on with peace, knowing that all by grace, no matter your unknowns, you will have what you need.

May today be one of those days where you see the Light in the little things. Through all that has changed and all that is not the same, may you see, that by grace, Light is pouring in anyway. Through the laughter and the music and in the place you feel at home, I hope that all of it reminds you: you have never been alone.

And through the wild of all the things that have happened this past year, there is still room to rest and find peace here. Because there will be feelings that are hard to shape into phrases and there will be memories that are difficult and weighted, and there will also be grace, endless boundless grace, rushing through you all the more. Grace that reminds you that even here, there is still more in store.

So until then, until you finally see how it all comes together, hold on to what is beautiful. Hold on to what is true. Hold on to the little things that ever-so gently remind you: the work you are putting in is not in vain. The sleepless nights and endless days have not go to waste. You may not be able to see right now, but you can choose to trust that all you have gathered to get to this place is more than enough to keep going. To keep breathing. To keep taking this one minute, one hour at a time, knowing that no matter how long you have had to wait, grace will find you, and day by day, you will be fine.

More tomorrow…
Sincerely,
Morgan Harper Nichols
