Unfoldment...I Like It

This is not my post for the Soul Restoration contest…
I missed the boat on that one, but I’m okay with it. The more I thought about what I wanted to write, the more I felt like I was trying to describe the ocean. If you’ve ever sat and contemplated the vastness of the ocean, you know how easy it is to get lost in that vastness, and then, somehow, the only words you can find are something like, “It’s big. It’s really big,” but that’s not what you mean at all. So, the blog post contest wasn’t for me. I’ll just have to find a different way to describe it, okay? Maybe an interpretive dance…(I’m totally kidding.)
I learned a new word today that reminds me, once again, that no matter where I am…good or bad, right or wrong, lost or found…I’m right where I’m supposed to be. I have a little book?, devotional?, something..., called the Daily Word. To be honest, some days I never read it. Some days I read it and I feel like it’s all a bunch of bunk, but some days…like today, the word is so meaningful that I rip the page out and put it in my pocket or hang it on my refrigerator. Today, the word is “unfoldment”. It’s a silly sounding word, but I think it’s one of my favorites now. Here’s what it says…
I felt like the message was speaking directly to me (I added “yes” after all of the things I hope to do). Sometimes I feel like even though I’m moving forward, there are too many obstacles, quick sand, road blocks, etc… keeping me from where I want (need) to go, but these things are all part of the unfolding. There are no closings, just openings. “Foldment” is definitely not a word.
And, guess what else..."unfoldment" is your word today too! We rock! :)

Dear sweet Kelly-I just LOVE this word! Unfoldment! It just dances with possibility and...promise. And I love the page you ripped out too. I know just what you mean about all the roadblocks and things...you inspire me:)
P.S. I hope Mother Nature gave you a sunny day today:)
