This Journey of Faith... is now

Written on May 24th, 2007:

It is 12 o'clock in the afternoon in rainy Tulsa Oklahoma.
I am sitting on my couch in my home waiting until the clock says 4, then I can go to work.
I am living in a house, with every possible accomodation needed to eat, sleep, and live.
I do not pay rent, I have a car to drive, and I am alone most the time. I have just enough to get by.
How did I get here? Why am I here, and not in Maryland, or in some foreign land on missions?

I am here because of Faith. It is faith that has brought me to this place. Obedience, and listening to a voice that is persistent in my chest. I take my steps moment by moment, day by day. Planning changes everything, so i opt not to. I am happy and content, learning about confidence and purpose. Healing takes place in the quiet with Jesus.

Oh how i love these Journeys of Faith.

Why Tulsa? I am here to work, to pay off my car, and credit card debit. Never do i want money to control my life, and so I proclaim liberty to myself, living in the abundance of my God.
I trust the Lord, the rock of my salvation. I hold on to everything He is and all that His Word proclaims. Debt will not restrict me nor will it hold me back from what God asks me to do, now, today, and in the future.
I am alone in Oklahoma. I have friends here but I do not see them very often. I realized that it is in the wilderness of our adventures that we have just what we need to live, not the abundance that God has for us. But the reason God takes us into the wilderness is to bring us to himself. One must chose to walk into the wilderness. I already have.

I anticipate change. I came to this realization: The Changing of seasons in my life from one to the next is dependent on me alone, not God, not People, not Timing. This can be a summer of change, as long as i am willing to be changed.

I want to be changed, to walk out of this wilderness and into the abundance of God. When I leave this place, I will leave healed, restored, free from debt, and changed. This is Faith. I am to walk by Faith, not by sight. Fact is one thing, Truth is another. Faith is now. His promises are conditional, I dont just inherit them.

Today I am going to work. I work as though unto the Lord not man. I will reap the promises of the Lord because I am walking out this Journey of Faith...
When the Lord says "Jump," I will ask, "How High?" and a smile will be on my face :)
