Jumping-Off Place

Okay, to boil all that narrative down: I believe that my life and its message is not about me. I believe that it is about God as the Father, Jesus the Son, and Jesus' Holy Spirit, and all of the purposes God might have for me to fulfill.

This has given me so much energy in my Christian life! I am no longer worried about whether I am doing the right thing or thinking in the right direction. I am free to follow...oddly enough. I can follow the quiet promptings of the Holy Spirit and the boldness of the Word and the things that I know are right.

I can pray and ask for direction and wait, just like a real first-century believer. :D I can depend on knowing that God is leading and that He really is with me every step of the way. This might have freaked me out at one time, knowing that He really is with me all the time. But this knowledge, coupled with the "it's not about me" thought, just frees me. I am free. This is SO good!!!
