Its been a year of revisiting the foundations of my faith, self and my relationships.
Its hard to put the journey on paper, and even harder to have done so in a way that was uplifting.
Why, well its a year where I've walked through the ugliness of seeing just how much sin affects our lives. How the desire to be genuinely loved, nurtured and encouraged, our need to be unconditionally loved that can only be met in Christ, becomes screwed up because our first inclinations is always to look for love from the people around us. And always, we come up short, react, and find ourselves to a greater or lessor effect hurt, angry and confused.
This year God said no,
stop,
deal with it,
Let me walk you through it,
find me,
trust that I love you enough...
sounds simple, but the reality is more like a series of false starts and painful steps to let Him hold the wounds and heal the soul.
The journey isn't over, I suspect its just beginning, but the hope of deeper relationship with God, joy and encouragement is enough to give me the courage to keep reaching up, and traveling onward.
