....At times, the dimly lit and slick stepping stones that I have had to cross in my past; the pathways of my life, from the vantage point of the world, have resembled that of a wandering ship lost at sea; a circling voyage pieced apart by those who perceive life only in the linear. But God's thoughts are not like our thoughts, and His ways are so much loftier than ours; a box that we should never place Him in.
I have come to believe that God draws vital pieces to the puzzle out of us within every step from stone to stone; each piece crucial to the next, and, complimentary to the wholeness and purpose of the mosaic; bringing God all the glory and fame because of the light that Christ shines through us. And what has been perceived as wandering, is in ALL actuality, a display of God's brilliance; a divine orchestration of the perfect steps for MY life, not yours; the human impossibility being made possible by His breath falling upon it. Our lives; each point, intersection, and fork in the road; each pathway that has been uniquely designed for us, is meant to draw out the important pieces that He needs, that when strategically placed together, equal the person that we were created to be; the person that can and WILL fulfill His will and bring Him joy because All the pieces have been collected to commence action; a will that is revealed and fulfilled IF we make the choice to trade our personal pursuits for His and say "yes" to His steps and logic, not ours.
From every move, from every school, from every career, from every failure and success, God has drawn something special and vital from deep waters within me; surgical removals that have been accompanied by severe pain and confusion, by great joy and peace. Spirit filled peace and clarity have not always been close friends of mine; privileges that I have been allowed to experience from the overflowing of God's grace and immeasurable mercy.
Spiritual weaponry is being assembled by the hands of God; a.k.a. THE CALLING ON MY LIFE.
