Beauty for Ashes

A mother’s love.  I can imagine it’s one of the strongest forms of love that can be felt by the human heart.  Her children, a blessing from God, are now woven into the fibers of who she is; forever changing life and love as she knew it.  It’s a love so deep that despite what happens, is always still there.  It never fades, never wavers; is full of hope and grace and forgiveness—always. 

Sometimes you feel as though you’re holding on for dear life; not sure where the wind will carry you if you let go. Letting  go is what is necessary, at times. Letting go of what was. Of what would have been. Letting go of your plans for the future. Of people you love. Letting go, and letting God is the best thing you can do in those moments.  Where the uncertainty turns to hope. The fear turns to peace. The dark is made light. And His love takes hold and guides you to your next destination.
