It's a beautiful night in South Georgia. The breeze is just right. The moon is full. The stars seem scattered until you really focus in realizing there are millions. I needed a moment. A big moment. So I sat on the driveway and watched the stars until they became too blurry to see. Tears streamed down my face-quickly. Maybe it was just that my heart was still thinking about Abraham and Sarah from Bible study. The stars take on new meaning when you're studying that story. And maybe it's just that life is weird sometimes.
Not being where you want to be physically...................check.
Not being where you want to be spiritually..................check.
Not being where you want to be literally......................check.
Wondering if you'll ever be where you feel like God has called you....................Big check. Big.
Feeling like every spiritual brick you're laying toward whatever it is God is building is physically exhausting.......................weary check.
On a better note I've discovered this week that asking God the (really) hard questions will always be easier than not asking. And knowing He ultimately is the Answer changes everything.
Trusting God is really less an active struggle as it is a collapsing into His strength.
Finding Him so faithful.
Remembering He's enough.
Knowing my life does not escape His knowledge.
Trusting that my life's purpose has nothing to do with my plan and everything to do with His.
Believing He's big enough to do whatever it is and to write this story in such a way that is a miraculous testament to His ability to take the broken and make it beautiful.
For His glory.
Let it be so.
