The Assent...

Happy Tuesday everyone! The sun is shining and the awesomeness is abounding. There are so many things to be thankful for today. Thank you all for your encouragement in weathering the storm and waiting for God to rebuild me in the way he desires. I truly am blessed with the most amazing, sweet friends. The journey has already been pretty fantastic (insert Fantastic Voyage lyrics here) - I can’t wait to see what is around the corner.

The Lord is definitely providing me with massive amounts of assistance on this journey of refinement. Strikingly, I have been amazed at the inner peace and the contentment, even if fleeting, that comes with submission. Wow, I can’t believe I just typed that last sentence, but that truly is representative of how my lens is refocusing. Unfortunately, paralleling the joy attached to changing my heart is the sadness in the realization of my blindness, pride, and stubbornness. Ambiguity in my life’s trajectory is dissipating each day…and with that, comes a profoundly clear picture of what I have been missing.

Nonetheless, I am encouraged. God loves me (and you) and truly desires our happiness. While I haven’t always magnified my discernment in traversing the mountain range of life, and I most certainly have left my map at home (or brought the wrong one) at times, I continue to climb the mountain of faith – resolute to never return to the valley.  

Luke 9:62: And Jesus said unto him, No man having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
