Life in the In Between
It’s not all that bad

Have you experienced the highs of life? I did when I was seventeen and went to college When I was twenty five and got married When my son was chosen as the recipient of the highest average at his elementary school And later when he was chosen to perform his tin whistle at the church’s Christmas celebration where he led a group of dancing girls like a pied piper down the hall up to the stage And finally when my baby girl was born Then came the lows of life: When I didn’t have a decent friend in college And had to resort to obedience out of fear of losing her When he didn’t respond back in love and I had to work hard to try to earn it and it didn’t work in the end When I fell sick and didn’t have a soul to attend to me for fifteen days when sickness came as a pounding head and blowing the nose through 15 boxes of tissues And finally when I had to swallow the bitter pill of betrayal and lose my dad at the same time It seems the lows tripled! As high as the highs of life were And as low as the lows of life were I still knew I was going somewhere And had momentum going But this in-between This is so hard to pass by I think I am going somewhere I feel positive about it And yet sometimes I am not so sure One day I am upbeat One day I am down in the trenches One day I am secretly wishing And cursing within me It’s so hard to handle this in-between Where I know for sure what I don’t want And I also know for sure what I do want But will I achieve that which I do want And what about what I don’t want? Will I get rid of it? At what cost? Fear says hold onto it Faith says let it go away in peace If I hold onto it, life goes on monotonously If I let it go away, there is a possibility of great loss What should I do? Should I hold on or should I let go? And what would I do next? It’s not like life is waiting for me Or is it? There’s only one way to find out One way to know What lies ahead for me in the in-between So, relax! Trust! Have faith! Let go! Breathe! The in-between is a safe space It’s a space you need to be in before you let go to eternity What needs to go To move forward with your destiny So, deep breathe Have faith! Trust in God! Let go of everything to the in-between And wait until the moment is right! Peace ✌🏽

The writing tells the process of life, and waiting between times. But destiny is a reality to be understood. May everything always be the best.
