Keeping the Faith

Romans 8:28

"For we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose."

I have to belive this right now. This is all I've got - my only hope.

A friend of mine sent me an essay that a friend of hers wrote about stepping out of your hole - you know, the safe place where things are known and not scary and safe. There is safety in continuity, but no growth. To step up when my Father says "Go" is terribly frightening. I find myself questioning whether or not He really said that or meant that or knew what he was talking about when He put this on my heart. Did He remember that this is a terrible time for me to pursue this? Of course - He is omnipotent - He knows it all.

So tday, I'm kind of at that precipace - the point at which you've strapped yourself into the rollercoaster and it's too late to ask to get off now and I could be terrified. My sense of logic tells me to be terrified. My comfort zone is screaming at me. And yet, I'm pressing forward - against all worldly logic. With only an ancient promise that He is looking out for me. That he would not bring harm to me. I look forward to praising Him when he comes through with a miracle that I never saw coming.
