It’s March. Wow. When did that happen? With patches of snow still covering the ground, it’s hard to believe that spring is so near. It’s also hard to believe that we’re 3 months into 2014.
As I shared here, this year has been a year of completing what’s been left undone.
The other morning, in between watching my 8 month old roll around on the floor and sipping coffee, I read a post from (in)courage that really helped me wrap one word around what it is that God is doing in my heart.
Follow.
Follow God.
Follow through.
Follow up.
I recognize 2013 was full of goals. Some I met, others I didn’t. So I embraced 2014 with the challenge of following.
Following God wherever he leads me.
Following through on commitments I’ve made.
Following up with relationships that need to go deeper.
It’s wonderful how God does what he does when he’s teaching us truth, especially when we’re really opening our hearts to hear it and see it. Whether it’s a blog post, a late night conversation with my husband, or a message at church, God has shown up.
He’s proved himself faithful. He’s clearly shown himself.
So what’s changed?
It’s not that He wasn’t there before. He’s always been there, proving his faithfulness and love in every moment of my life.
I’m the one who has changed.
And not out of my own strength.
He’s been changing me.
He’s opening my eyes to really see Him.
He’s giving me the strength to push past the moments of human nature when it “felt” easier to focus on the negative.
He’s telling me to follow.
And follow I shall.
Even when I have to follow up hill because I know he’s there to carry me.
Even when it’s into the darkness because I know he is the one who will light my path.
Even when I’m feeling alone because I know he will remind me that He’s always there.
So what is your word? How can you wrap up what God is doing in your life?
