I've spent the past 8 years or so really working hard on my spiritual journey. I've read my Bible, done dozens and dozens of studies to learn more, listened intently from those with wisdom, put into practice the things I learn, and really tried to develop a better sense of who God really is in my life, and in the world.
I believe I'm embarking on a new part of my journey now. I'm taking the first steps into understanding more fully all that comes with a new and better understanding of God. My Sunday morning bible study is teaching us just what's available within the power of God working in and through us. Just this morning I read in scriptures examples of ordinary people who were able to overcome huge fears and with God leading them, and supplying them with necessary skills, instruction and tools, they overcame sin, and overcame evil, to their benefit and God's glory. That's the kind of life I want to live. I'm all done focusing on the problems before my eyes. I'm ready to see the victory through God that is possible. I don't think I have to be born special or be perfect to find joy and peace and victory anymore. I can trust, and take that fearful leap of faith, and know with confidence that God will not only cheer me on, but catch me and show me how to soar! I believe He wants to teach all his children to fly and really live an extraordinary life - but we have to overcome fear first - and learn to focus on Him and what He can and wants to do.
I can't wait to see the view from the next mountain top!
