Moving along
The more I search for answers the more questions I have. I think that I am realizing that faith is just that: faith, believing in something I can't see, feel or understand. It sounds ludicrous. I live in a time where I am taught that anything I desire is within my reach if only I work hard enough, believe hard enough. What a crock of lies. I think this to be Satan's biggest and darkest lie for me. I have searched for a faith that can change my circumstances. When all along I should have been longing for a faith that can endure, regardless of my circumstances. I want to understand a God that can't be understood. It is mostly about me, and no so much about Him. I want to have a faith that is strong and trusting, loyal, unwavering, unconditional, without questions or doubts. I am sure the moment I have this will be the moment before he calls me home. Our lives are not so much about what really happens from moment to moment, but how I respond and react from moment to moment. I am learning, and I think at a remedial pace. At least there is a motion to my life and I'm not in a stagnant state. Even if my steps seem to go backwards, that is part of living. I see so many people not moving at all, toward or away from God. My heart is sad for these only because I am unable to connect to them. Without a passion for something, what is there? I don't mind to be lost as long as I am looking for the way back. I hope you are passionate one way or another about God.

Something I heard at ZOE this weekend was helpful for me was this:
Sometimes you feel like you're cruising down the path, and everything is just fine. Then all of a sudden, you're knocked off of path, and you feel like you've lost your way. All you want is to get back to the path. But what we don't realize is that that IS the path. God puts us where we are, and we need to be content being "off the path." Because, in fact, we are on the path after all.
Then I will definitely need a four wheel drive!
So well said!! Life is so meaningless without that passion for Jesus--it's our purpose and the reason we were created. I forget that very easily and go running down some rabbit trail. Just give me Jesus!! God bless!
