#13 "What If"

"If the stars were made to worship so will I. If creation sings your praises so will I. If everything exists to lift you high, so will I."

The melodic voice bounced off the walls of the church building. Hands were lifted up as each individual seemed wrapped up in their own personal plea to their Heavenly Father.

Kait's heart felt heavy as she poured every thought, every fear, every doubt and every situation and placed it at God's feet.

Her eyes welled with tears as her heart swelled. Her chest tightening and the melody continued to speak to her soul.

The woman's lips parted as her knees dropped to the carpeted floor.

Admiration for the heart of the woman seeped in Kait.

"Father God we will forever worship and sing your praises because God..."

She paused, her words getting stuck on her throat as her palm found the place on her chest right about her heart and the lyrics to the song escaped her lips.

"I'll forever be chasing after you. I'll be chasing after you."

The words dug deep into a Kait's heart as her inner child depicted her story.

Gratitude overwhelmed Kait for the girl she once was and the woman she is today.

Each year, each chapter of her story playing a pivotal role in who she was today.

After the service, Kaitlyn felt full. Like she'd walked into the building an empty cup and was leaving poured into until her cup runneth over.

Clarity consumed her on the path that she wanted to take when it came to her future and the impact she'd make on this world.

Even when her mind told her that her voice was small, she knew that every voice whether big or small mattered and could make a difference.

Peace filled her with Tenille's departure, knowing that both women needed to enter their paths along. This journey was one they had to figure out as individuals.

Forgiveness tugged at her for the two women that had wronged her at Cambria. Knowing that if she held onto any anger towards them, it would only hinder her growth.

A growth she didn't plan to allow anyone to stop her from.

She would gracefully enter the halls of the hotel on Monday with a sense of peace.

Peace that this time away from the building provided clarity for her path.

"Hey."

The deep voice filled her mind as her brown irises landed on the man she'd found cute just one week ago.

"Hi."

Her response was soft. Confusion etched across her face as the sides of his lips rose.

His pristine teeth were blinding as they reflected in her orbs.

He passed his palms along the grey tuxedo jacket that covered his arms.

"I saw you messaged me on Instagram but I don't really use social media so I thought I'd come talk to you in person."

She raked her mind for recollection of the moment until the image was provided.

Internally she scolded herself for not listening to the wisdom Chelsea threw at her.

A week ago, shooting her shot seemed feasible but this week, it wasn't what she wanted.

Revelation hit her as her inner woman shook her head at her with a smirk gracing her lips.
