This is for you...the you barely getting by. The you, wondering when the tide will turn. The you, wondering where you lost your joy and when you will find it. The you who wonders if you will always feel battered and broken.
This is also for you, who got the good news you were waiting for. The you, who achieved that goal. The you, who found your way through the darkness into the light. The you, who was blessed beyond measure.
This is for the you in the middle of new adventures full of light and love. This is for the you in the middle of new adventures that feel tumultuous at best, and horrifying at worst. This is for the you celebrating milestones and living the dream. This is for the you that is finding joy in the moment.
This is for the you that is grieving. For those rebuilding the very foundation of their life, piece by piece. Praying that each of those pieces finally bring some peace.
This is for the very young you, and the very old you. The you that is learning, the you struggling to learn. This is for the you who is waiting. Patiently, or not so patiently in times of great uncertainty. This is for the you who is lonely, and trying to find some bit of contentment in that time alone.
This is for the you who laughs. The you who cries. The you who does both in succession.
This is for the you who's roots of faith run deep, and the you who is just setting down those roots. This is for the belief it takes in either of those situations.
This is for the you who is a mixed up, confused, combination of all the above. We are all the messed up, and the messenger, depending on the day or the situation.
All of this is you (and me), the awesome and the imperfect, the broken, the healing. It is both the gift and the grace. This is for you.
