There are days that my temper runs too short. There are days when my stubbornness kicks in too strong… for the wrong reasons. There are days when my world is tipped and anyone trying to fix it is in threat of losing an eye. Have you ever had those days? It\u2019s in those days that I am grateful that I am walking in his footsteps. His gentleness in guidance and his wisdom through love rope me back in without need for correcting words. He just trusts. And he just waits.<\/p>\n

There are days that I feel like I could fly. Nothing can hold my wings captive any longer. Nothing can stop the breeze from carrying me. Have you ever had those days? I\u2019m grateful that I am walking in his footsteps those days too. His supporting smiles entertain my artistic whims. His dreamer\u2019s heart leaps at the chance to run beside me before take-off. And his practical logic keep me grounded until the air\u2019s clear. He just trusts. And he flys with.<\/p>\n

There are days that I just want to crawl into a hole. Maybe today the world will end. Maybe today I\u2019ll not be seen. And the weight of this life wears on my back. The day too long and the night too short. Have you ever had those days? In those days I am grateful that I\u2019m walking in his footsteps. He just sits beside. He abandons words. He suggests a walk knowing it\u2019s a silent one. His arms extended. He just trusts. And he just listens.<\/p>\n

Oh he\u2019s not perfect. Sometimes he gets them mixed up. Sometimes the signs are confusing to read, my signals unclear. But he always tries, even when he\u2019s tired. And I find through his example that I just trust. And I just wait. And I fly with. And I just listen. It\u2019s in these days that I am grateful that I am walking in his footsteps. His patience is something to be admired, but he\u2019d be the first to brush it off as \u201chow he should act,\u201d passing the compliment to another. But I must tell you that it is so much nicer walking in His footsteps when I am walking in his. Just look in his eyes sometime. I wonder how those eyes can carry so much… masked behind a hazel.<\/p>\n

I love him.<\/span><\/em> My best friend.<\/span><\/em> <\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
