Going

By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.
[Hebrews 11:8]

There is a time for departure even when there's no certain place to go.
[Tennessee Williams]

And on that note, I'm sending one of two college applications today!

A Strong Branch

“Imagine you are on a high cliff and you lose your footing and begin to fall. Just beside you is a branch sticking out of the edge of the cliff. It is your only hope and seems more than strong enough. How can it save you?

If you’re certain the branch can support you, but you don’t actually reach out and grab it, you are lost. If instead your mind is filled with doubts and uncertainty that the branch can hold you, but you reach out and grab it anyway, you will be saved. Why?

It is not the strength of your faith but the object of your faith that actually saves you. Strong faith in a weak branch is fatally inferior to weak faith in a strong branch.”

—Timothy Keller, The Reason For God (New York, NY: Dutton, 2008), 234

Treasures

I find myself praying often for God to lead me throughout my day.
Decisions big, small, hard.

To be led, one has to walk. 

By faith and in His faithfulness we walk, not by sight. 
It's not necessarily easy or comfortable-- exercise. 
But it can be and is meant to be peaceful and joyful.

Though I cannot see clearly, I believe and hold His truths as true. 
"He will never deceive me." - Whatever My God Ordains is Right

He is the author and perfector of all--
the faith we receive from and through Him, of our days, decisions and lives.

"But Mary treasured these things, pondering them in her heart." 

Luke 2:19
