i want to journal more. i want to think more. i want to process. and i honestly do not have time anymore to sit down and write in my actual journal as much as i would like, so maybe this will be the answer. maybe. i hope.
this year has been a year of learning. well, in actuality, it has been the past year and a half. i have been constantly growing, changing, shifting. i am learning to slow down and enjoy the life as it passes and not look so fervently towards the future. i am learning to breathe in the air that comes to us each and every day, to feel it renew my strength and my soul. i am learning to love the Lord with all my heart, to follow Him even when the path is dark and i cannot see Him or His hand. and finally, i am learning to leave the past behind me in order to receive the gift of community, even when it stings and hurts me at times.
and i want to record this. the Lord did not give me this past year and a half for nothing. he is doing something, deep within me, to fulfill me to His fullest, His plan for my life.
and i don't want to just let this slip by.
so here it goes...
'I will not offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God that cost me nothing.'
2 Samuel 24:24
