Friends, it has been some time since I've posted here. Time has allowed for many things to change, which is the way of things.
Some struggles remain, while other victories have been won! I praise God for all of this, and each day I feel I grow stronger in my faith -- and more importantly -- my understanding of His will in my own life.
Like a meandering stream I have allowed my faith to roll over rocks and lackadaisically find its way through this turn and that. When a storm comes, certainly it floods my banks to their fill and when the storm passes, so to does the insistent need for that faith.
Why He so easy to find when times are tough?
Or is it that He has been patiently waiting for me to find my way back into His arms... showing an unfaltering love I cannot imagine...
"Proximity," He whispers quietly in my ear.
Be close? Draw near?
... I am left to my reason to sort this out, but not alone. He has left clues along my path, and knows my unique ways to uncover them all.
And through it all, I am reminded of why I started this search so long ago. However, having found Him is certainly not a singular journey. No, my friends, it is something we endeavor to do like the raging rapids each day of our lives.
Perhaps we are only like babbling brooks, or slight rain drops to the ground -- at times. But I am reminded not to be discouraged, because His love for me is great.
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. - Matthew 7:7-8
