The perfect time.

by | Jul 1, 2017 | Journal

I’d like to think I’m saving us for the perfect time. For the time when we’ve grown on our own and we’ve learned to love ourselves. I like the thought of coincidentally running into you in a street somewhere back in town after not having talked for years. I would notice you first but pretend not to. You’d give me that same old look you always did whenever our eyes met.

About that time, we’d have learned to accept that we weren’t meant to be with each other then. It was for the best. We both had other priorities to focus on. A career to build, an outlook to develop, adventures to embark on.

I’d like to think that as we treaded our different paths, it led to seeing you again on that street. A familiar love, a dear friend. It would be lovely—finding someone I never thought I’d see again. Yet there you would be, right before my eyes, with a presence gentle and reassuring. After all this time, I’d understand why I had never set my heart for anyone else after you, and why a few moments later you’d ask me out for coffee.

It was this I was saving us for. The perfect time. That’s what I’d like to think.

What if I lose interest? What if I’m not enough? But tonight, I’m learning to pause, be patient with my process, and cling to what’s true, pure, and praiseworthy—just as Philippians 4:8 reminds. This is me, slowly unlearning self-sabotage and learning grace.

He spent over 2,000 hours teaching himself piano from scratch—stumbling at first, then slowly finding his voice. His story is proof that greatness doesn’t start with talent; it starts with showing up. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to return to your craft, this is it.

Halfway Through the Year—How Are You Doing?

Halfway through 2025, I find myself reflecting on the weight I tried to carry alone—real, pressing concerns about family, the future, work, and the state of the world. I clung to them tightly, thinking they could sustain me. But they didn’t. In the breaking, I was reminded: I was never meant to carry these burdens alone. Little by little, I’m learning to lay them down at Jesus’ feet—and to trust that He is still in the boat, still in control, even when the storm hasn’t passed.
