It is easy to mistake the in-between space and moments as times of waiting. It can feel agonizing when we are awaiting a particular event or interaction. When we are excited or dreading something the time before can appear to go on without end. In our minds, we do not know what the hold up is. We can’t imagine why there even needs to be an in-between. Why have the beat between the inhale and the exhale? God invites us to recognize the power of integration that occurs in between. There is a distinction between ingestion and integration. Integration happens over time. Integration is something that has no specific time boundaries. It is about rhythms and flows. The integration of anything is about making whatever it is a part of ourselves so that we can utilize it as an expression of truth from ourselves. Anyone can digest and regurgitate information or experiences. To fully embody something takes integration. Not everything we consume is meant to be integrated on the same level for everyone if at all.
