Flowing Where He Leads

Drifting with the Currents

Embrace an unscripted life and trust God’s guidance.

Slowing down, then surging forward—I’m never quite certain which rhythm of life I’m caught in. What I do know is that I’ve long outgrown the phase of worrying about how anyone judges the way I navigate it. No matter the approach, to someone it would always seem wrong. So now, I drift with the currents—sometimes they carry me smooth and steady, other times they hurl me into the breakers, tossing me around with a force I never saw coming.

Learning to Let Go

And isn’t that life? Taking this approach has completely shifted my mental state—I even sleep better now that I’ve handed my worries over to God. Truly, I have so little left to cling to. Even when my teenager serves up aggressive sass that teeters on disrespect, I find myself moving through it with grace, sometimes even with humor. I’m simply over the drama. At this point, I just want to sip my coffee, read my books, and let the world spin without me pretending to hold it together. People who flip out over the smallest setback? They’ll get zero attention from me. Like I said, I move forward like water—flowing where it flows, steady in whatever direction it takes me. I fully trust His hands are on me—what should I fear?

Life Without a Script

Psalm 31:7-8a

Which brings me to where my life currently stands—and why control isn’t even an option for me. Once again, I’m about to head to the other side of Texas for a while. How long? Honestly, no one can say. And yes, I know that unsettles people. Some think we’re leaving them out of the loop—and sometimes we are. But the truth is, it’s not really anyone’s business, and just as often, we simply don’t know ourselves. Right now, our lives are completely unscripted, impossible to plan. For someone who thrives on routine, spiral notebooks, and a color-coded calendar, this shift has been a challenge. Still, I’ve learned to create a kind of rhythm amid the chaos, a routine in the unplanned. And as for sending out constant updates? No thanks. Why should I?

Choosing Where to Invest

Guilt trips, endless questions, dramatic sob stories—I’ll pass. Don’t get me wrong, we wish the best for everyone, but life doesn’t bend to meet everyone’s expectations. And that includes mine. This life is short. Are we spending our time well? Maybe it’s time to invest more in our own lives than in keeping up with everyone else’s.

Asking the Hard Questions

Keep my eyes on You Lord

If you’re wondering why this all feels familiar, you might want to revisit my recent reflection—“Finding Myself, Authentically Through Christ”—where I wrestle with the same three questions: Where do I find my value? Do I have peace? Do I trust God’s promises for me?

I ask myself these daily, and honestly, I don’t always like the answers. Because if I want God to clean my heart, cover me in His grace, forgive me, and guide me, I have to be humbled. And sometimes the truth is—I’m not where I want to be. My values slip, my peace falters, and I struggle to trust. But that recognition? It’s a gift. It wakes me up. It brings me back to Him.

Grateful for the Flow

It’s not just flexibility- It’s living water

This is why I’m letting go—submitting, and allowing myself to flow wherever the current carries me. Trusting the gifts God placed in me: my gut, that sweet, sweet divine intuition, my discernment, and the deep knowing that He will guide my way. I’m clearing out, cutting away, and releasing what doesn’t need to be, so there’s room for what He wants to add. And I’m not just okay with that—I’m grateful. Deeply, humbly thankful.

Proverbs 3:5-6

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” — Proverbs 3:5-6
