I don’t know how many of you have kids who watch Veggie
Tales but when my boys were younger they LOVED it. Anyway, there is this song
on an episode that says “keep walking” it is referring to Joshua walking around
the walls of Jericho (it’s a super cute song). That phrase has been on my mind
for a week now; faith is a journey and you can’t continue on a journey without
walking.
This week was my first full week at home with no outside
obligations and I must say it has been a blessed week. We have baked bread, baked
cookies, played with new friends, attempted to use the big girl potty, cleaned
out kitchen cabinets, cleaned out bookshelves and focused on keeping on overall
tidy house! Nothing earth shattering I know, but this week the Lord has been
teaching me to “keep walking” even though I do not know where the journey is
taking me.
Some of you may be taking one step at a time by faith, not
really knowing where all the steps are leading. That is kind of where I am
right now in my Spiritual journey. I am excited, nervous, anxious, fearful,
humbled and terribly inept at the thought of God using me for His purpose. Be
that as it may, I am going to “keep walking” as the Lord leads and try to enjoy
each step of the journey.
Hebrews 11:1
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things
not seen.”
Oh, Dawn, how well do I know and understand! I've been where you are many times, the biggest and most frightening one being when I left my teaching job to go into full-time writing. I felt so twisted and turned around, never knowing up from down and front from back. But that's been many years now, and God has always been faithful. There have been ups and downs, and I've cried a lot of tears. But I've also smiled a lot of smiles and felt a lot of peace. But the best part of all is that I've grown so much closer to my Savior during the past few years. It's been so exciting to be able to spend more time with Him and learn more about Him. I pray you will experience this for yourself!
