Gaining Ground

Whether my destination appears clear or not, I believe that I am where I am for a reason. The uncertainty of my direction in life has always been a struggle to overcome. The question is whether it's even up to me to overcome it. Mysteries in life are usually seen as a weakness, a liability rather than a vehicle of hope and faith. I know that when it comes to my future, the unknown is a terrifying reality.

However, God is a good God who assures us in our uncertainty and leads us through the darkness. The message God has been making clear to me these days is that I'm gaining ground. I may not always see the fruit of my labour, or reap the benefits of what I have sown, but I have an assurance in my heart that I am gaining ground. It's amazing how God can turn our weakness into strength (2 Cor. 12:9-10), our mistakes into an elimination processes :), our pride into holes in which we fall into (Prov. 16:18). God is molding me to walk through the unknown spaces, the roads less traveled, where the path is not laid out, and where the terrain is thick and mysterious. I love adventures, and lately I feel like I've been thrown into one that is more than I can handle. It's like I'm running through a forest with a strong but vague conviction and purpose in my heart uncertain of the next turn within my journey.

I'm excited! Ready for a new Challenge to overcome.
