When Your Walk Feels More Like a Crawl

The Very Truth

walking in Jesus

On those days when your walk feels more like a crawl,
remember that faith in Jesus means jumping in with both feet.

“Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? …For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men” (1 Cor 1:20-25).

We get fooled. We look ahead and see a mirage.  We get sidetracked. We wonder if we took the wrong turn. We feel…lost.

But what we forget is that we cannot get lost when we are one with The Way. Jesus is bringing us along, whether we feel it or not.

In a life dedicated to Jesus Christ,
He is working to produce results in us,
even if we don’t see them right away…

This walk with Christ begins with that first move forward.  Often, we look back and realize that, at the times we could not see Him working in us, His plan was being accomplished.

The official said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”

Jesus said to him, “Go; your son will live.”

The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went on his way. As he was going down, his servants met him and told him that his son was recovering. So he asked them the hour when he began to get better, and they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.”

The father knew that was the hour when Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” And he himself believed, and all his household.(John 4:49-54).

When the first day of school is also the day your When the first day of school is also the day your firstborn drives herself to college, it’s a lot. We moved her stuff into her dorm last week. Today she got up early to say goodbye to Dad (too early! Not pictured 😂), her brother, her doggo, her piano, and her momma. Before she left, she made blueberry scones to share with her little bro @sjoshlafont —they homeschool and relocated together, went to @westminsteroakmtn together, and have shared a love of music, Legos, superheroes (and villains), Transformers, and so much more. She played my favorite song. She even made banana bread to bring to her new roomie. @graciethenerd You are my little nut brown hare, and I love you to the moon and back. Auburn University is a better place because you are there! ❤️

Also, so grateful for the wonderful school where she spent the last four years—the perfect place to land after years of homeschooling on the move. “For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.” (Ps 100:5) #curatingthegood #graduated🎓 #wisebeyondheryears @graciethenerd @lafonte04 @westminsteroakmtn
