away i go...

away i go on another journey across an ocean to the island of maui.
Honestly, my body is tired of changing and moving so much. I am longing for consistency. I might’ve said that because I’m simply tired no, exhausted right now.
I’ll spend the summer on Maui endeavoring to enjoy my home and find some rest with God and those I love. I long for His face, I long for His embrace, I love His voice.
away i go on a journey into the depths of knowing Him.
It’s been a bumpy road with many twists and turns. Many pot-holes, and well even sinkholes. I’ve been bruised, tattered, demoralized and victorious, joyous, and strengthened in resolve. It’s a roller coaster, life that is, but God is good, and life is too.
What is this thing called abundance? It seems elusive at times, about as much as God’s voice does but I got a gentle correction from God this morning when I was complaining about not hearing Him clearly or enough or (well, since I was complaining it sounded more like: AT ALL). He kinda said I act like a teenager who doesn’t listen to his parents. As a teenager, I may have physically heard the words coming out of their mouth, but at the same time completely disconnected from (not hearing) what they actually said. But in the case of God, since He doesn’t seem to speak audibly often, if I’m disconnected from “hearing” then I’m not going to hear… anything.
ouch.
“Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
ouch.
Kinda elementary stuff you might be thinking. I’ve had a bad week, and it’s always the beginner stuff that you gotta re-learn when you are whining. So here’s to fresh starts, may they come every morning, along with joy, peace, and righteousness in the Holy Spirit.
