It’s mid-year now and a lot has happened.

Despite that, I find myself not trying to master the tide, nor letting it carry me wherever it wishes.

Just afloat.

I’m learning to cooperate with grace and continue to leave what is out of my control in God’s hands.

I’m done managing things—been for a while. Done trying to avoid being misunderstood or carry everything.

My stances have remained, and are stronger regardless of whether they are made known or pondered within. My boundaries are twice as strong, forgiving while avoiding unnecessary tolerance.

For now, I remain afloat and held by grace.
