paper on the wall

our Cambodian housemate is learning English and posted this on the middle of the wall sometime last night. when I woke up and saw it today, it brought a huge smile to my face.

I haven’t blogged yet in January! What a month it has been. Moving. Planning to move. Not yet having moved…. A time of being patient; and other times of not so much patience. Things that are beautiful. Lots that is hard. Many questions. Always uncertainties.

Ah.. and isn’t that life?!

I read a book this month called ‘Radical’ by David Platt. (which I highly recommend if you want God to seriously rock your world) It is one of the better books I have read, if wanting to think seriously about why I am here and why I live… One question asked among many is how much am I desperate for the Spirit of God in my life? Like how much of my life can I really do on my own? And if I am not desperate for the Spirit in the day to day, why not??

I have a long way to go. I have much to learn. But one thing I have been reminded of lately; I am in desperate dependence on Jesus.

I look ahead and I wonder how… how, what, when, why? I have so many questions. I am here. I have learned and grown and seen His faithfulness time after time; and the thought of moving ahead without Him- I honestly cannot imagine it.

It is a good place to be. It is where I want to remain, the only way to really live. But I am being reminded; it is not for the faint of heart.

‘Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind, and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.’ Proverbs 3:5-6.
