All other ground is sinking sand.

If you've seen a mosaic before, then I want you to know that my mind feels like that right now, although it doesn't form a specific picture as some mosaics do. I feel as if there are so many influences in my life right now, but I just don't know which ones speak truth and which ones are false and it's really disturbing. I speak mainly of spiritual things, but there are others. Through it all (though) my Faith grows stronger and He-more assuring. Where once there was faith and then a slight tremor of doubt, there in it's place is now a daily solidifying Faith.

In the book Soul Revolution-John talks about how one day he was running on a track and he thought to himself, what if the whole God thing isn't tue, what if He really doesn't exist, doesn't hear us...he then thought, but what if God is like a human freindship-one that takes time and communication to develop, what if more things are revealed the closer you get. He decided at that point in his life to take a leap of Faith, he made a decision-to "jump in"-completely, to press hard into Jesus-like a freindship you VALUE, he says it's the best decision he ever made, but it was a DECISION.

I think that's alot about how the Christian faith and life works, it is a daily decision, and as Steve Ellis said, "the hardest thing about the Christian faith is the DAILY". I find myself constantly wanting to get ahead of God and go crazy for Him, but I have to daily remind myself that it's all a process, and all things and all the people involved in the things God has in mind for my life have to be ready too. I really like the post called "Seed and Bread" from Beth Moore's blog: http://livingproofministries.blogspot.com/, she talks about this "impatience" for the things you want to do for God and how timing and enjoying the "now" are also very important.

"In Christ alone my hope is found He is my light, my strength, my song This Cornerstone, this solid ground Firm through the fiercest drought and storm What heights of love, what depths of peace When fears are stilled, when strivings cease My Comforter, my All in All Here in the love of Christ I stand"
