The Secret Petitions of our Hearts
There are petitions we carry in our hearts that we haven't even fully named yet. Not because we're hiding them, but because sometimes they live so deep that even we don't have the words for them.
This year I turn 50. And when my family asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I genuinely didn't have a list. Not because I have everything, but because what I wanted, I couldn't even articulate.
Then yesterday happened.
My daughter, who recently got engaged and is planning to move on with life, and take her beloved Milah with her, our golden girl who has become so woven into the fabric of our home, gifted me my very own Golden puppy called "Zeeva Mae." (Coming soon!!)
I don't think she fully realized the weight of this gift. She didn't know she was handing me the exact thing I didn't know I needed. Something to hold, to love, to call my own. Because I didn't even have the words to express what I was quietly grieving the thought of losing both of my girls at once. My daughter stepping into her own life and Milah going with her. My two girls. One move. A grief- and joy- I hadn't even let myself fully feel yet.
And yet somehow, Grace knew.
Last night I couldn't sleep. I just lay there thinking about how this works. How the secret petitions of our hearts, the ones we whisper without even fully hearing ourselves, have a way of being answered in ways we never would have scripted.
Don't stop whispering yours. Even when you can't fully articulate them. Even when you think no one could possibly meet them. Because alignment doesn't always announce itself. Sometimes it just quietly appears, wrapped in something you didn't even know you were waiting for...🐕
