"As you watch beautiful things fall into place for others, I hope you know that there is still time for you. You have not missed out on what was meant for you, even if it falls in place differently from how you expected it to."

I cannot tell you when it will be “your turn” or when you will finally find the love or the peace you are longing for, but I can tell you, as long as you are breathing, there is still more in store.

I know it is hard to believe when you have to watch others get the answers and the opportunities that you have been praying for yourself, but I promise you, no matter how great this season looks for them, you are no less worthy or deserving than them. Your story is going to look different. In fact, it always has. You have always been the one to keep treading on this narrow, winding path.

You might have to wait a little longer and you might have to give a little more to finding joy in the little things, but none of this will hinder you from traveling this inevitable journey of being led where you need to be.

Trust in the process.
Trust in the process.

Things are going to look a little different here, but there is no reason to fear. Remember all the things you did not know last year, and still made it through? Remember how you continued to laugh and listen to the music despite all of the heartbreak that found you?

The same grace you found in that season is still with you today. Even while you watch others succeed. Even while you wait. You have not been abandoned. The mere fact that you are breathing is a sign that you are still connected to this life.

I know it’s hard to watch them go on and live out the answered prayers that you have been praying for, for years. But I hope that you can still trust: there is a reason you’re still here. You cannot see it, but you can trust that Love is still here. Peace still runs wild here. No matter your uncertainties or your fears.

Keep trusting in the process.
Keep believing there is more to come.
Keep digging your heels deeper and deeper into gratitude and what that means in this present moment.

I know you wanted to be further along by now. I know you didn’t see yourself having to wait this long. But I also know that grace will continue to find you, over and over again. Morning Light is still pouring in. You are still free to carry on on this path. There will be days that are harder than others and entire seasons of life you are not sure you are going to make it through. But again, grace will find you. Right here in the middle of it all.

So let yourself be excited for those around you. Be liberated from within, knowing that it is okay if your story looks different. You are still not missing out on what was meant for you.

Keep giving your all to this present moment. Keep showing up unapologetically for what you believe in. Please do not let this season of waiting hold you back. Do not let you think that you are not enough or you do not have enough to fully engage in this life.

You belong here just as much as anyone else. You are a voice, a presence, a contributor in ways that matter and bring life to those around you. Keep letting the Light pour through. Keep trusting and believing that waiting for something to happen is not all there is to you.

More tomorrow…
Sincerely,
Morgan Harper Nichols
