Though it hasn't felt good, it has been good.
I've experienced Freedom to choose.
I didn't *follow the rules* and be a good girl to choose gratefulness.
These days have revealed Truth:

There's a longing deep inside of me that I can't even articulate.
Yet, it's one that tugs at me deeply, in the night as well as the day.
*Different* calls my name.

I long to live my heart's desires.
So, when the good girl inside me wants to be embarrassed over my attitude of late, I reach for His strength to choose Grace, instead.
Unwrapping Trust for the longing, and Freedom for the anxiousness.
