Faithfulness to the Skies

There are times in your life when you set up an Ebenezer, when you put a marker in the sand so that you can look back and see how far you've come. For many, their graduation from high school, their wedding or a tragic event can be an Ebenezer. For me, an Ebenezer was placed two years ago to this day. On that day I was given the keys to a 2009 Dodge Journey. I can remember who I was then, who my friends were, what my values, hopes and dreams were as of then. The changes in my social sphere, interests, desires and passions are very apparent to me and I can join John Newton in saying:


"T'was grace that brought me safe thus far and grace will lead me home."

Just Do Something?

A thought has been growing on me for a few months now. What if I shouldn't be seeking God's specific plan in areas of my life? What if he wants me to think? What if he wants me to just do something? He has given me a mind, wise friends and His Word. What if that's all that I really need to make a decision?

I know that many times I have been paralyzed by over-analyzing a decision. I will pray about something for a long time looking for a definitive yes or no answer, and not receive it. God has given me everything I need for life and holiness (2 Peter 1:3). Just a thought, but one that is becoming more and more intriguing to me.
