I was accepted into grad school recently for Design and I haven’t been writing much lately. However, I have been thinking about my past academic career. In my undergraduate degree I thought I was going to go into ministry. It didn’t work out for me but the things I learned in class have stuck with me. The type of thinking I learned I just can’t let go. It shaped me and changed me.
I started thinking about salvation because in this uncertain time the concept speaks to me. I don’t think salvation is something that waits for us after we die.
Salvation sits next to people on a park bench in a rain storm and lends the umbrella.
Salvation is the voice that says we are good enough when the voice in your head says “no, you’re not”.
Salvation is the tears you release on the days when you feel most depressed.
Salvation is the joy you feel after typing the next line on the screen because you shared a little more of yourself with the world.
Salvation is crying hot tears while hearing someone say the words “me too”.
Salvation is an extension on a late bill.
Salvation is when a professor says “you’re making progress” when you don’t think you are.
Salvation is a new rescue dog who loves you when you feel unloved.
I hope you found salvation today and don’t wait for it until you die. Share if you did in the comments.
