After yesterday's conversation which sparked this blessed desire--I am overjoyed for this venture.
For instance, I've known lately that I'm truly allowing God to lead me.
There is something so new in this for me as a follower of Jesus.
I feel a childlike faith returning to me as I envision Jesus
walking before me on this overgrown path, lush and deep with greens.
I see him turning every so often to look back at me to see if I am still coming.
And he is beckoning.
I feel my bare feet moving quicker on the path, not noticing the rocks and rubble beneath my soft arches, but curious to know where Jesus is leading me.
He's looking back now, smiling and laughing, as I'm hurrying now and my once heavy heart is leaving behind all of it's fear, shame, guilt, insecurities, burdens...
I feel lightness in my step and I just want to be closer to follow Jesus.
I want to see the landscapes in his vision for me.
I want to see the hills and valleys, secret passages and surprises...I want to climb the highest treetops, taste the living water, meet neighbors along the way, know the people who will join me
all along this wild road for Jesus.
In this moment, I am not sure what the 60 days of intentionality will bring, but I know that I commit myself today to be uninhibited in my loving. While following Jesus, I will remember in these days how to allow the Lord to search my soul--the very depths of me--to help me find what passions and loves bring me to life. Jesus, thank you.
