Figuring It All Out

I am constantly amazed at how God continues to shape, form and rework me into the man He wants me to be. I screw up (a lot) but I know that His grace is always enough. I am working to figure out what this relationship with God is all about and what it truly means to follow Jesus. 

I get scared.

I fall back. 

I wonder what the next step will be like.

I try to take back control.

Each step of the way God is gently nudging me closer to Him. Because it's the pursuit of Him that really matters. It's that pursuit that gets me through each day. 

Somedays I pursue hard. Somedays I don't pursue at all. But each day is a reminder that He created the world and everything in it. 

He made the sun.

He made the Lion.

He made me. 

That little dose of reality should be enough to remind me who God is, what He has made, and that following Him is the best thing to do with my life.

Giving up control is never easy for me, but I am learning He knows better.

Fear cripples my faith sometimes, but I am learning to trust. 

Each step is an adventure.
