Found this little doodle in an old journal today, and it made me emotional. š„¹
I made this a couple of years ago, and somehow it feels like a message I left for myself to find today.
I am perfectly made. God loves me, and I radiate love. I listen to my body and try to treat her like a child who needs nurturing, patience, safety, and care.
And lately Iāve been thinking about how much I crave some of these things from a partner someone to hold me, reassure me, remind me Iām beautiful, make me feel safe.
But this reminded me that sometimes what weāre searching for outside of ourselves is also something we can begin giving ourselves.
I can hold myself.
I can nurture myself.
I can remind myself who I am.
I can love myself through the moments when I feel alone.
God has a way of providing that love too, sometimes through people, sometimes through little reminders, and apparently sometimes through an old doodle tucked inside a journal. š¤
Maybe the love weāre waiting for doesnāt have to begin when somebody else arrives.
