An Open Letter to God

When You look at me, You don’t see all of my past, present, or future mistakes. You see the full picture. For my human brain, that feels impossible to understand. Sometimes all I can see are the mistakes. I can hear someone say, “Leave your shame behind,” nod my head emphatically in agreement, yet continue to walk buried in my shame.

A little note from Rachel

Hey, I’m so glad you’re here.

I’ll cut to the chase.. I don’t have it all figured out. Most days, I’m just trying to get out the door while simultaneously answering a four-year-old’s very important question and meeting the demands of a two-year-old. 

But I’m learning that Jesus can meet me even here. In the thick of my frustrations, failures, and shortcomings. He’s not anxiously waiting for me to figure it all out.. He’s right here with me. With open arms, longing for me to return to Him—to seek His wisdom, His peace, His grace, His love.

Life is hard. But we don’t have to go through it alone. Let this be a place to breathe. A place to laugh. A place to remember that you’re not the only one figuring it out as you go.

Come sit for a while.

— Rachel
