We know how to walk, but do we know where we're going?

 

 

Lately the Lord has just really been stirring my heart.

 

With the end of school stress, moving into my first place,

learning to adjust to summer and getting news I never wanted to hear.

 

it has been quite the adjustment, but such a glorious one.

there's something about just knowing him intimately that

beats anything I could ever explain.

 

ya know I've been thinking

 he knows each and every hair on our head

he knows the bags under our eyes after long nights

he knows the wrinkles on our forehead

the lines on our hands..

 

but do we know him like that?

 

is it possible that we're missing the point.

we say we know him

but do we really know Him?

 

It's been my goal in the past few days

to just be still, and know.

 

quite frankly sometimes or all the time

I'm lost.

I look up and don't know the cleared path is

and I know how to walk,

but I don't have any idea where I'm going

 

the Lord has really been just teaching me

 to sharpen my focus strictly on Him.

because ultimately when I look up

the only thing I wanna be pointed to is

Christ.

 

I've had quite a few trip-ups thrown at me

since school's gotten out

but when my focus is centered on Christ

every log that rolls on my path doesn't trip me up

I'm able to just jump over it and keep pressing on.

 

when we follow after Him with everything we have

suddenly our weakness isn't weakness

it's power.

 

"My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected

in weakness...

Therefore I am well content with weaknesses,

with insults, with distresses, with persecutions,

with difficulties, for Christ's sake;

for when I am weak, then I am strong."

2 Cor 9&10

 

 

Sometimes we just need to focus on the GPS himself

so that we never question where it is we're going.

because even when we're lost, we're found.

 

it's a hard walk, but a walk that's worth it.

 

I'm really stuck on this song lately..

the lyrics speak life to my soul.

 

"Spirit of the living God,

Spirit of the living God

We only want to hear Your voice,

We're hanging on every word
Cause when You speak, When You move

When You do what only You can do

It changes us, it changes what we see and what we seek"

May we tune into His voice,
so that we move when He moves
and fall when he falls

Follow hard after him friends.

"Often the very things that you think have disqualified you are the things
that qualify you to do what God has called you to do."
-Christine Caine

Remember that those bumps in the road
aren't disqualifiers, but they qualify you
they enable you to do the very thing which
the Lord has called you to do.

in those moments of what we think is weakness
and confusion, we are strong because of Him.

He doesn't call the equipped
he equips the called.

You are so loved, and valued, friend.
Stay Strong,
and stay tuned into Him.

Until next time,
Austyn
