Settling into destiny feels like coming home to the real me.

According to Merriam-Webster, to settle is to establish or secure permanently. 

That’s what the Lord is doing inside of me. It’s a beautiful thing to see. The process isn’t so pretty and there are nights where I cry until I dry heave but then I come back to center and sit still with the girl in the mirror.

Settling into destiny is being okay with what’s going on around me, or the lack thereof. It’s to stop trying to rush every moment and enjoy the wind blowing around me. 

It’s seeing everyone else move in a path I’d like to go but acknowledging that’s not the route for me. 

Settling into destiny is allowing me to see what God sees inside of me.

Your Word says you are that still small voice so as the noise around me turns to calm, I hear You.

It’s the clarity that comes from stillness. It’s the air being so quiet, I swear, I can hear the particles floating around me.

It’s trying to make peace with the pieces of me I’ve shoved down so deep. The ugly attitudes and jealous thoughts that threaten to creep above the seams. Acknowledging those thoughts spring within me but are not a part of who You’ve called me to be.

Settling into destiny is finally separating what is inside of me. What is truly me and what have I picked up along the journey that was never meant to be?

It’s listening to music that brings out the kid in me. Watching shows and finding moments that allow me to just be, authentically.

I’m not what I thought I was, and that’s alright.

Settling into destiny is allowing You to be the light on my path and wind beneath my wings.

It’s finding comfort in whatever the new day brings; knowing no matter the storm that I am not alone.

Everything I’ll ever need is inside of me because You placed the Truth within me.

Without Your Spirit, I’ll never find the right road to take and establishing destiny is allowing You to take the reins.
