It’s a wonder I go anywhere EXCEPT the forest when I need to figure something out. I mean, the woods have ALL the answers, right?
After a week — honest to God — having severe anxiety over my own greying roots… I finally resorted to box color to remedy it. I know it’s shallow, maybe… over the top… first world problems and all of that.
But the bottom line is that I felt like I was day by day turning into an old woman in front of my husband. I kept my hair up and back so he wouldn’t see…. Would he CARE? no. But that’s not the point. He’s still my love interest.. and **I** would care.
In my mind, my roots were SOOOOO freaking unattractive, the oldest parts of me.
But today…
freshly colored, 
I felt that familiar stirring in my soul.
To run, to disappear, to be where I can’t be seen or heard, to be where no phone can reach me…
As an aside, Chris can always sense this stirring in me. Today, he just said, “Why don’t you just go?” No
So, today I go out way later than I normally would and quickly realize that it had rained way more than I thought last night. The rain had washed away a lot of the trail… and so
Do you KNOW what I started searching for?
THE ROOTS.
The strong roots that stretch nearly as far underground as these massive trees stretch towards the sky. The roots that I can ALWAYS depend on, balance myself on… as I navigate murky puddles that remind me I’m trekking through The Great Dismal Swamp.
So often I’ve depended on these roots to navigate the trails after spring rains, but I’ve never FULLY appreciated them before.
You see, these roots are exposed ONLY after some abuse. Whether it be the abuse of foot traffic making the trails… or the violent washing away from thunderstorms.
It’s only after all the “OTHER STUFF,”
the superficial stuff
recedes
that you can see the roots.
Right now, a lot of roots are being exposed; and it only occurred to me today that this is the natural order of things.
So, when the storms of COVID 19 show up,
or the abuse of too many people walking through,
or the pouring rains of a new season in your life
recede…
What will YOUR roots look like?
The roots of your business?
The roots of your finances?
The roots of your confidence?
The roots of your SELF-belief?
The roots of your faith?
The roots of your health?
They ARE being exposed,
so what do you see?
Do you see DEEP rooted, healthy roots that are dependable and will withstand the storm?
Because as I walked through the trails, hoping to make it to my favorite journaling spot to type this for you before the bugs come out in full force…. it hit me.
