Where my focus goes, my faith follows. That’s a huge lesson for me right now.
I keep thinking about Peter who was plenty faithful, but when he stepped out of that boat to walk on water, he started sinking when fear and doubt tried to take hold. He needed to stay focused on Jesus.
Every day, lately, I find myself sinking. This. Is. Hard.
I also thought today that I’m not a barrel of monkeys much. It’s all probably hard to read and just “blah” unless you’re some weird, melancholy Wuthering Heights fan. (I happen to be. It’s one of my favorite books.)
However, if you’re down with the drama of real-life danger, the movement through heart-melting struggles, or the intrigue of impending brain surgery, I’m your go-to story right now.
If tests of faith are your jam, I’m your girl.
My faith, that I would have argued was ironclad, gets a good once over nearly every time I move. The Universe is dealing with me, and there’s nowhere to look but up.
9 days.
