If only my future was transparent...

A Note to Future Self


Dear Meredith,

It is important that you recognize your innate quickness to run. Whenever you sense things moving towards a stand still, you head off in an entirely new direction. You'll do anything to keep moving.

Your soul desires motion. Your spirit craves action. And not just any action, meaningful action. This will always serve you well as you seek to create, advocate, and lead. But you must be cautious. You grow bored far too quickly. Often, you look toward the next hill before you finish crossing the present one. You have a history of sprinting from one thing to the next. Sometimes, God calls us to stay put for a while, however. Metamorphosis takes place in the context of relationships, and relationships take time.

I know the future excites you. You want to leave this place and start a life of your own. But don’t forget the past or who you have become because of it.

Don’t run,

Meredith
