it really IS all about the journey.
lately, i've been head-over-heels involved in a project. and not a project that needs just a little "tweaking" as Tom Hanks so eloquently says to Meg Ryan in my favorite movie. rather, this project is crazy involved. and it's a 'jump-off-the-diving-board-into-the-deepend' kinda' involved. except, that jump also involves jumping without knowing if there's water first.
i'd always thought moments of faith were preceeded by flashes of light and booming "james earl jones" voices. but my experience says, that it's a lack thereof.
no voice. no lightning. no big talking-picture story.
it's as if you're in a really windy place, and for a moment, the wind dies down. and there's that eerie silence. although not so eerie. and not so silent unless i make room for that silence.
doesn't make sense huh?
let me try again. faith is...
ordinary. everyday. constantly. moment-by-moment. in the dull. in the humdrum.
in my unfallen, blood-of-Christ-covered state, it's natural. all-the-while, it's supernatural.
in the end...it's...well, it's glorious. all-the-while, it seems, normal.
here's to a life lived as purposed...in a perpetual, ordinary, extraordinary freefall.

Nice, A. Well written in the weary hours...:)
faith...so complex yet so simple when it really comes down to it.
i have been stuggling with "walking by faith" lately...i always want to see a clearly laid out path in front of me...however, god is showing me that it is in the path that looks so overgrown and treacherous that my faith grows.
looking back i can see god's hand in the entire jouney...it's these moments that help me to make the next step into the unknown.
praying for you girl...we need to get together soon!!!
love ya!!
