lost

so what's the first thing you are supposed to do if you get lost?

i believe we are taught as children to stay put, wait, and let ourselves be found.

but can i tell you how hard that is? first to recognize that we are lost in the first place. and then to wait and keep waiting with trust until the moment we are found. we want to fight it, take control and get ourselves out of our situation.

i've been feeling more than a bit lost these days. lost in a sea of boxes. lost in the details. lost in trying to carve out a new identity. lost in the numbers. feeling like a little girl lost in a dress that is way too big for her.

God is teaching me that the best thing to do is to wait to be found. wait for God to rescue. trusting that we have a God who is in the business of finding what is lost. and as His child our job sometimes is just to wait.

thankful for His word poured out on me these last two weeks. thankful my mother will soon be here to help. thankful that God does provide and will provide. thankful God is more than enough.

He will set my feet upon the rock . . .
