There is a journey<\/p>\n
Not a path I chose<\/p>\n
But a life chosen for me<\/p>\n
I was given an opportunity<\/p>\n
A chance to love hopelessly<\/p>\n
To take the journey of difficulty<\/p>\n
One day I met you<\/p>\n
That first day I met you<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when it all started<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t know you<\/p>\n
I had never met you<\/p>\n
But I knew God has a huge design for your life<\/p>\n
You were chosen for something greater<\/p>\n
I was chosen<\/p>\n
And didn\u2019t even know it<\/p>\n
To be part of that grand design<\/p>\n
I got so lost in chasing it<\/p>\n
I got so focused on being there for you<\/p>\n
That we fell when we thought we could fly<\/p>\n
We decided to spread our wings<\/p>\n
We decided to jump from the nest<\/p>\n
Everyone was cheering us on<\/p>\n
Telling us it was time<\/p>\n
Telling us this was supposed to be<\/p>\n
So<\/p>\n
We jumped<\/p>\n
We spread our wings<\/p>\n
And began to fall<\/p>\n
We weren\u2019t ready<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t time<\/p>\n
We just saw how happy they were<\/p>\n
How happy it would make them to just jump<\/p>\n
We were stupid<\/p>\n
When we finally hit the ground<\/p>\n
We were more broken than ever before<\/p>\n
We picked up what was left of us<\/p>\n
We put our heads up tall<\/p>\n
And as friends<\/p>\n
We shook hands<\/p>\n
and knew together<\/p>\n
we could be no longer<\/p>\n
I was sad<\/p>\n
Depression overflowing out of every fiber of my being<\/p>\n
We were both alone<\/p>\n
We were both apart<\/p>\n
We both gave up<\/p>\n
As time went on God allowed us to grow new feathers<\/p>\n
We lost the old<\/p>\n
He renewed our strength<\/p>\n
He revised our minds<\/p>\n
That did not mean the journey was over<\/p>\n
That did not mean the journey was easier<\/p>\n
He simply began to equip us<\/p>\n
Our wings had grown<\/p>\n
And now they are fully equipped<\/p>\n
This time we aren\u2019t falling<\/p>\n
This time we aren\u2019t hurting<\/p>\n
We look at each other<\/p>\n
We are together<\/p>\n
Hand in hand<\/p>\n
Hearts together<\/p>\n
Our time is now<\/p>\n
Our lives intertwined<\/p>\n
Like a grape vine<\/p>\n
After being pruned<\/p>\n
Green and beautiful<\/p>\n
Completely intertwined with one another<\/p>\n
Ready to take flight<\/p>\n
We look in each others eyes<\/p>\n
We spread our wings full span<\/p>\n
And now<\/p>\n
We are diving off the tallest mountain<\/p>\n
We are doing it together<\/p>\n
It is time<\/p>\n
Time to fly<\/p>\n
Our journey isn\u2019t over<\/p>\n
Our journey is just beginning!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
