Beneath the Surface
As I’ve moved through various seasons of change throughout my life, I’ve frequently encountered overt resistance from those who may genuinely care for me at some level, but who, for whatever reason, lack an imagination or vision to see the surrender, the journey, the nuance and substance beneath the surface of my visible choices. Most recently, this has been true of my coming out journey.
I think, as people who seek to cultivate an authentic and deep inner life, most of us have to experience occasional seasons of being challenged and invited to stand firmly in our transformation, face to the wind, fiercely trusting God’s hand in our formation process. Learning to lean into our continued becoming regardless of the voices and volume of those who incorrectly feel the need to impose their opinions and desires onto our process. Our invitation is to eventually learn to give ear only to a precise handful of voices - those who’re capable of holding space for the uncertainty of our becoming - and to cultivate an internal posture of quietness and trust while we steadfastly lean into the wind.
If you resonate with this invitation to stand firm and lean into your becoming despite the loud winds of resistance, this piece is my prayer for you.
