Down.

Came.

The.

Rain.

There had been years past of torrential downpoursโ€ฆand even those times where she walked alone in it, with drenched clothes and no umbrellaโ€ฆshe secretly clung to one solid prayer in her heart.

โ€œPlease heal meโ€ฆplease restore my Soul.โ€

She dared not speak it aloud because she didnโ€™t want to actually believe it was possible.

If she could be healed, then she would have to let go of her story,โ€ฆand her story was what made her who she was.

So she chose to cleave and wallow in itโ€ฆthere was no room for surrenderโ€ฆno room for grace to work its way in between that small pause in between her heartbeats.

She wouldnโ€™t allow it.

Despite this impasse,โ€ฆthe one solid prayer remained,โ€ฆ it was like a tiny seed buried beneath the snow, silently waiting to emerge in the Spring.

Until then, she remained locked in a room of her own Soul.

She didnโ€™t feel safe enough to come out.

She doesnโ€™t know when exactly it happenedโ€ฆit could have been in a dreamโ€ฆor maybe it was when she would doing the most mundane daily taskโ€ฆat some pointโ€ฆa crack appeared within the dark room of her Soul.

A ray of light began to stream in across the dusty floorboards.

The crack became wider and wider, letting more and more light in.

She had begun to curl up next to this crack at night, to read booksโ€ฆshe could see much clearer with this lightโ€ฆand before she knew it, she could no longer see without it.

She began to smile more, laugh deeper, and trust in the Universe.

Slowly at first, but soon it began to feel safe to begin to emerge from her inner prison of the mind.

From there, only more and more light poured in, as she set out to restore the years of her life that the locusts had eaten.

She knew the light would guide her in how to do this.

A flame had been ignited inside of her heart, with grace pulsating in between her heartbeats.

She now walked so freely with the light.

But remembers the rain.

She remembers the darkness, sorrow, and the pain.

But most of all, she remembers the one. solid. prayer.

Always,

Sarah ๐ŸŒน
