And then it ended and life was dark and confusing and i hurt more than words could ever describe. The rejection, the loss, the pain took me places i hope never to experience again.
When i finally took the chain my ex had given me from my neck about a year after i was released, it meant that i was no longer connected to him, i felt totally alone. And then i remembered that i wasn't alone and i put on another chain, that chain connected me to another Master, and reminds me that i am never alone.
For over two years now though, i've struggled, trying to find my place again, who am i? what am i? why am i? i've never forgotten that He walks with me, but the longing and desire to please is still strong.
The stuggle has been up and down. The people who have walked with me have both supported me as well as brought me challenges.
Each day a brick or two is being removed, not by physical power and strength but by thoughtful words, attention and knowledge. Sometimes i wonder where the plan will take me and i struggle with new thoughts and challenges. i continue to work on remembering that i am just a slave and that to others my role is to serve, to please, to act accordingly. i know that i will never stop being that "chaser of butterflies" but i hope that one day that Someone will understand that need, that bigness in my heart and want to be one who can fill it.
i may not always know where i am going, but i do understand that the journey will carry me to where i need to be. In the meantime i will arm myself with my butterfly net for capturing experiences, my camera to capture the memories and my joyful heart to help bring a smile or two to others along the way.
peace and respect,
jenagain
