I misplaced my love story for a time.
I handed my greatest treasure to the world, and I asked the world to create something beautiful from the pieces I presented.

I waited with great hope for the design that would be returned to me. But the world did not treat it kindly. She allowed many to speak into this sacred space and I welcomed their words with deep anticipation. Surely their experience will enlighten mine.

Many admitted the challenge before me and commiserated with me. Others offered various well intentioned solutions and moral support. But none of the world’s best experts offered me any sense of real hope.

So I’m taking it back. Returning it to safe-keeping. And I won’t allow the world admittance to observe, inform or draft its design.

I’m taking it back to where it belongs–where it’s fully alive and free from encumbrances. I will place it back in the hands of the Master Creator and let him weave His divine magic into it.

It’s too tender a space to allow just anyone in. I will only allow access to those who can see His hand, are informed by His spirit, and can speak that insight into my heart.

I will take refuge in the company of these trusted few as I wait in quiet anticipation to see what God has in store for me.
