Coffee with the Labyrinth

Miracles have to be noticed, found, and embraced in order to fully be seen.

There are so many answers of prayers that have come to full fruition that go undetected due to busyness and only having the capability of being a wanderer in a labyrinth.

We are unable to get the bird’s eye view of our life where we see the end and the beginning of our journey or season. 

2020 felt like it began as a curse from car accidents, darkness enrapturing loved ones, and defeat wrapping its claws around my hopeful spirit.

2019 was a year of healing, scabs raw and exposed.

2020, I claimed, would be a year of rebuilding, but I didn’t expect that more had to break before I could start. 

As I close out my first two months in 2020, I began to see that every single event began a butterfly effect that fluttered in waves of miracles and answered prayers. 

I encourage you to not get caught in the labyrinth of life, where the overwhelm begins to overtake you rather resting in the fact that God, the Great I am, sees you and sees the bigger picture.

Keep moving forward no matter if it doesn’t make sense.

There were dark moments in my labyrinth where unrest, worry, anxiety literally paralyzed me where I felt like I couldn’t move forward.

Nevertheless, I chose to take steps forward hanging onto the truth that something bigger, greater, more powerful had the bird’s eye view of my journey and was already working on my behalf, making a way for me, making a way for my grandma in her healing from the accident, making a way for hurting and lost loved ones, making a way to silence every single worry, stress, and anxiety-ridden fear. 

The fears of the labyrinth began to be hushed. God is in control of the labyrinth.

As we live this life, we don’t have to feel like a wanderer rather an adventurer. 

A wanderer roams, drifts, and floats, whereas an adventurer seeks, experiences, and finds. 

Don’t look back or look too ahead; be in this moment of your journey. 

Your first step forward may look like making healthier and more intentional decisions, getting connected to a more positive community, slowing down, or simply surrendering.

Whatever your first step is, be all in it knowing that God is in your journey, and there are miracles all around. They just need to be noticed, found, and embraced in order to be fully seen.
