incase i forget — letters from a sincere place (letter #4)

Note: incase i forget — letters from a sincere place is a compilation of letters written in seasons of wrestle and hope. since childhood, my favorite way to cope is to share about my days and my heart. life transitions can make the heart grow old and cold, but I believe each one of us will always keep a part of ourselves that can never be outgrown.

these letters are personal and I’m keeping them to remind myself how God’s grace and mercy carried me through different and changing seasons of my heart. in breaking and breakthrough, there is a God who cares and loves us deeply. if you ever find the time to read these letters, my hope is that it encourages you not to be strong, but to be unashamed of your vulnerability and brokenness. take the risk to bare your heart and always remember that Jesus delights when we lay down at His feet.

Written March 2021 / breaking season

I’ve heard someone said, “the wounds that never heal are always the ones mourned alone.”

But when you’re broken, how to talk to the Lord? I was in that moment when I wanted to just suck it up — to be “stronger” but I was unable to silence my cry. I’ve found myself getting lost in the act of service to others because it’s easier than letting others into my pain.

But I’ve learned that an honest expression of grief or weakness, is a prayer that God never silences or wastes. God showed me that I was not alone in my “unspoken broken.”

For God loves us all too much to lament without rescue.
